Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2003 10:40 amUTEP is in a sort of a no man's land. Not east and not west, at least in terms of the WAC. Most people in Texas don't even consider it part of Texas. It's even in a different time zone.
I think this writer went to NMSU. He loves to give it to UTEP.
I'ts a slow day in the expansion biz. This is the best I could come up with.

That's something, I guess.

talking about being slighted?!

Re: UTEP
Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2003 11:11 amhis article makes sense. UTEP, while praying to join the MWC, might end up with the leftovers of the WAC-west, and lose out on a potential conference of WAC-east schools.
He shows history of UTEP being rejected from the BYU's and UNM's in the original (1961) WAC, and the MWC.
