UTEP Should join the WAC and either keep its football program in C-USA or go Indy for now until the WAC goes FBS and/or they get a MWC invite. Indy might actually be a better option for them in Football at the moment. As far as travel cost are concerned it would be the smart thing to do, they would save a ton of money. As far as "prestige", C-USA just got relegated to the bottom conference in FBS and one could argue that the Texas 4 and Tarleton have more "prestige" than the likes of FIU, MTSU, and most of the rest. The Miners are in a really tough spot right now and a WAC move would benefit both. Plus they would be the "Top" school in the WAC so that is another plus for them.
