Mountain West

Imagine a world with UTEP athletics where geographic rivalries were renewed and travel made sense; a world where the Miners competed in the Mountain West.

If up to six Pac-12 members leave for the Big 12, a potential merger with the remaining four Pac-12 schools and the Mountain West makes the most sense.

Kalen DeBoer has agreed to a five-year, $16.5 million deal with Washington after two seasons as the coach at Fresno State.

With six of C-USA's biggest schools leaving for the Sun Belt, where does leave UTEP? I explored the three best possibilities for the Miners.

With Texas and Oklahoma both headed to the SEC, the move will lead to a domino effect in college conferences that could finally get UTEP into the Mountain West.

The inaugural edition of the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl will be played Dec. 18 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the host announced on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday night.

While the Miners are undergoing a seemingly normal 12-game football schedule this fall, outside conferences that previously elected to forgo the fall slate to play in the spring are reconsidering their initial decision.

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.

UTEP hosts Nevada for the third game of the 2019 season and the on-air talent here at 600 ESPN El Paso deliver the goods on what to expect at the Sun Bowl.
