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.

UTEP won't be able to keep its football team in CUSA if they step down to the WAC in everything else. No way CUSA schools in the east will ever allow that.

I gotta think the opposite

If ODU and friends could get UTEP out for everything but football they would be thrilled. A football game in UTEP every 2 to 4 years is nothing compared to sending your baseball and women's team sports annually
