UTEP COVID-19

Director of Athletics Jim Senter and head coach Dana Dimel addressed the media on Thursday to provide updates on the team given the schedule shake-up, positive COVID-19 cases, fans attending the Sun Bowl and the anticipated opener against Texas.

On the day before their first padded practice was set to take place, UTEP Director of Athletics Jim Senter and head coach Dana Dimel announced the postponement of fall camp due to four players testing positive for COVID-19.

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.
