OT: Sun Bowl
- Thread starter FiliUTEP
- Start date
I wonder how that would work and if joining that conference brings any stability?
It’s an interesting scenario but there is so many question marks. It’s like Tom Cruise jumping ship in Jerry Maguire.
The future of the Pac2 is fascinating to me because their survival likely means the death of another conference
Well, UTEP can “bid” for the Sun Bowl, but they’ll first have to win 6 FBS games. 🤡
And since the Sun Bowl is a completely separate entity that’s not associated with UTEP, they can tie-in with whatever conferences they can.
You can bet the Sun Bowl won’t really want this new Pac 12. Without USC, UCLA, and others, they would probably want to look elsewhere for their tie-in.
If we get into the PAC we will need a major overhaul of our athletics dept and budget.
I still think the MW or AAC are the much more legitimate options.

UTEP to AAC has never been a legitimate option
I 100% agree with both statements. Yet, college sports stopped making logical decisions a long time ago and anything is possible
what ever league we might get into must have other Texas teams to continue our recruiting efforts. If MW wants to "get" another Texas team then I would suggest getting very serious with them, however, if the PAC 8 can get another Texas team to join then "BINGO" that our new home.
Otherwise, stay in CUSA.

Here's the thing: fans and local media have asked the Sun Bowl Selection Committee a couple of times in the past about helping UTEP get into a better conference by offering up a Sun Bowl bid to that conference. The Sunnies have always refused. I guarantee that they will do so again.
Nobody wants to watch those teams. Sun Bowl needs to do the right thing and switch PAC 12 to Mountain West.
