Since when was Las Cruces 250 miles from El Paso?!?
You are correct. Las Cruces is only 40 miles away. But UTEP (which is a fairly large school) has no NFL competition within 250 miles. That is the point. NFL competition kills college football. And El Paso, combined with Juarez, is a big city with a decent airport and lots of good hotels and restaurants.
It does? Cincy, Pitt, Miami, GaTech, Navy, Maryland, Temple, Colorado, AFA and many others say, “Hold my beer.”
