I already have us bottom 3 in conference but in reality any season we don’t finish dead last is a huge achievement.
Uteps NIL program

I find it strange that Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso are blue but everything around them is red.

It would appear that whatever opposition there was to this bill came from the Republicans. The Democrats were uniformly in support!
The entire NIL has created a mess.
I think that's a slight exaggeration and assuming it's tongue n cheek. As bad as it is how many times has basketball been last or bottom 3 in 20 years? Football obviously more, but probably only half of the 20 years. Not to mention the conference isn't better now it's getting worse football wise and near the same basketball wise.
A lot has changed in the last 20 years. Comparing our record back then to now is like apples to oranges.
In the last 6 years we have finished bottom 3, 3 times.
10th out of 14th, once. Just missed bottom 3 there.
9th out of 14th, once. Yay, two teams above bottom 3!!!
One season where we finished in the top 7 out of 14!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it really an exaggeration?
There’s really no difference between finishing 4th in CUSA and finishing 10th. There’s a few more wins here and there, but unless you make the NIT or win the CBI, your season was unsuccessful and will be forgotten.
It’s not good enough at UTEP. Not based on what the school pays its head coach.
The year we finished 10th was when CUSA did the weird scheduling. Played a bunch of really bad teams twice. Hey who needs context? Right?
FAU made the final 4 and the rest of future AAC had an amazing post season run! We can’t compete with that! Finishing 10th was very respectable in coach’s 2nd year!!!!
Never mind coach makes more than all of those other coaches and UTEP had more fans at their games than those teams!!!
I agree with that, just didn't realize it was that bad 😞. Trust me I'm not saying it's great or getting better by any means. Just didn't seem like we've sucked that bad.
This whole system is set up to benefit just A&M and UT.
"This summer, UTEP basketball player Tae Hardy wasn’t only working on his dribbling, passing and shooting skills."
Sh##, I hope so.
Senter’s contribution is “we can’t win without more $$$.”
I am expecting, hoping as much as expecting, the Miners to be north of 20 wins this season. That's north of 20 in the regular season, before the conference tournament and post season. This is gonna be Golding's best shot at it.
Supposedly, this is the deepest team he's had here. With Zid Powell as the shooter he didn't have last season, Golding had better coach these guys up to being in the top three in the conference. UTEP needs to step up in basketball. CUSA was supposedly slightly better in basketball in this latest configuration. Of course, that was before the Aggies imploded. We'll see. If the conference can improve any over the last few years, FAU's run being the exception to the usual, we might be all right. We'll see. Go Miners.

From what I remember, he said that before last season too. I'm not convinced the team will be any better than last season.
UTEP football and NIL remind me of my 80 year old dad not wanting to use a cell phone..
I don't want to see any of the Prices coaching again, their time has come and gone. But I understand that the family is very popular with the well heeled Alumni, so this might actually be a good move.
Exactly. He’s not coaching but dealing with the NIL intricacies and gland handling doing public and behind the scenes stuff. Perfect fit.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Him and his father's have friends and ties to the region. Boosters like him and I'm sure he'll be able to get a get in the door on that merit alone. He's also an energetic guy and good salesman. Have no issues with this.
