UTEP is signing its new football coach to the paltry sum of 280k a year. That is low money by even MAC standards.

The question I'm raising is the assumption has always been that UTEP is a perfect fit for the Mountain West based mostly on the Sun Bowl fan base but from an investment standpoint they hardly sound serious about competing for Access Bowls.

I'm of the opinion that the MW should hold out for Houston, SMU and/or Tulsa. If they need additional schools to make the numbers work then fill with Memphis/Tulane. UTEP looks to be a total waste of time.
