Earlier this week, the Mountain West released the league model for the upcoming season, featuring an eight conference schedule plus two non-conference opponents and a start date set for Sept. 26. This complicates things for the college football season in the area.

With the Big 12 and Mountain West both limiting their non-conference football games, UTEP could be playing a reduced schedule of only 10 games in 2020.

For the second time in the last 20 years, a UTEP home football game against Texas Tech has been canceled.

The UTEP athletic department and Group of 5 conferences like C-USA have millions of dollars at stake with the Big 12's decision on their 2020 football schedule.

Over the weekend, UTEP sent out a release to confirm what felt like inescapable news. Five Miner student-athletes tested positive for COVID-19 and as a result, the university's athletic facilities will close for extensive cleaning until Thursday, July 16.

Fred Wendt, who starred on the football field for Texas College of Mines and was an All-American running back during the 1940s, died at the age of 95.

UTEP Director of Athletics Jim Senter announced the cancellation of the remaining spring football practices and the 2020 UTEP football spring game.

Head coach Dana Dimel, entering his third offseason at the helm of the program, addressed the media Wednesday afternoon to discuss this year's recruiting class.

The full 2020 schedule for the Miners football team was released on Wednesday, featuring tough non-conference opponents and a challenging C-USA slate.

In a matchup that featured eight combined turnovers, 14 total punts and just two offensive touchdowns, Arizona State (8-5) prevailed and capitalized on Florida State's (6-7) mistakes, winning the 86th annual Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, 20-14.
