Interesting he used prison as an analogy. I guess he prefers when young adults are a captive audience instead of having choices. Choices means he has to do better instead of telling them to deal with it
A school in UTEP's position should be hitting up the Tiguas, Charlie Clark, the Hunt's, Mountain Star Sports Group, local barbers, tattoo artists, locally owned shoes and clothing stores, more car dealerships, country clubs, local fancy restaurant owners and pull them together to plot on NIL chances even if they are small for UTEP advertising ops or other perks, I am sure that is against NCAA by laws but in my opinion that is how a lower level school can make it work, not like they will be rolling in cash but its start and its something to offer.
Put this comment in the Miner Digs HOF. +10000000000
When he talks about the inmates, I take it as the boosters/bag men who used to pay players under the table. Now they just pay them out in the open and there seem to be no limits.
I was thinking the same, but when I saw the second tweet about athletes asking the coaches about NIL so its a very weird statement(s) to make about it either way.
Hard to disagree with him. Mack Brown says he is struggling saving players who like being at UNC from leaving because of the money they are being offered to transfer.
I don’t disagree with you but I wonder how much more the Tiguas and Charlie Clark are willing to give on top of what they’re already giving. I think more than anything UTEP has to find a way to get the common alumni on board to give to UTEP. To fund NIL money for the football team even at 5k per player would be 300,000 for a group of 60 players. The lack of backing from the community and alumni will a always be the downfall for this athletic department.
You’re just using this comment as an excuse to say you want Senter fired. If you think he’s done a bad job and he should not be AD, that’s fine and I get it. I question his ability to navigate the waters of being AD myself. But to act like this comment is so awful he should be fired is comedic. You’re just looking for a reason to justify his firing.
No mention of Natalicio? Interesting. Instead blame Senter
Under her watch UTEP consistently fielded some of the worst teams in College Football.
Also under her watch we fielded some of the best teams in UTEP history.
What? She was President from 1988-2019. In her 31 year tenure we made 6 bowl games (losing all 6) and were co conference champions once. If we consider bowl games as the benchmark for success that means 20% of her tenure was successful. Her tenure as President was just as successful as Dimel’s tenure as FB coach.
Yes, like I said under her watch we experienced some of the best seasons UTEP has ever lived. I doubt she would have been shitcanned. If a 7 win coach survives then I imagine a 10 win coach would too.
Senter is a complete jackass regardless of the comment context and the whole nation now sees it, no AD should basically be saying we are getting our assess handed to us because we can't keep up, remember when they bragged about his record breaking fundraising at the Citadel? UTSA has a NIL collective started by fans, the hell is Senter doing to keep up besides crying about it?
Does your foreman know you’re taking breaks to message on here ? Get back to paving thatroad
It was handed down from SCOTUS so it is an enforceable athletic budget item for colleges regarding market value for an athletes' services so how he feels does not matter. He has to deal with it. Tough road apples!
How original 🙄 making fun of an honest wage.
It doesn't change the fact from my original statement. Under her we've also enjoyed some of the best seasons in UTEP football history. Doesn't change all the bad football under her. Believe it or not people can do both good and bad things at their job. I simply pointed out the good she did while you focused on the bad.
People want to wax poetic about her tenure as President, but it’s not like she was president when UTEP was competing in both basketball and football in the 1960s. She just caught the end of the Don Haskins era and under her watch the once successful basketball program just withered up and died.
I’d partner with KVIA to package up ad deals that pay the players for appearing in ads, at events, etc. Leverage their sales force to get some deals going.
Well, that's key: the funding for NIL is not supposed to come from the university. It is all supposed to come from the fans, from third parties. If Senter tries to organize it, he's breaking the one and only rule that supposedly governs all this. Where he would probably have a role is allowing UTEP's name and logo to be used in conjunction with players' NIL. But UTEP can't control a NIL fund that they use to pay players.
Which boosters? They are too busy, dishing out to other programs. Let’s face it, UTEP is 2nd fiddle, and that sucks. They had an opportunity, during the Price early years to change the culture, they blew it. This new administration has already accepted defeat and have no vision for the future. It shows, this isn’t the 1st time, Senter has said something stupid. Wilson is too busy, with her AF buddies to care.
