UTEP Director of Athletics Jim Senter sent an email to fans today with the subject line “Future of UTEP Athletics.”

“Dear Miner Nation:

With our 2025-26 basketball seasons completed, I wanted to take a minute to update you on the current state of UTEP Athletics.

The win-loss records in football, men’s and women’s basketball are nowhere near where we want them to be, nor are they what our fans expect and deserve. We believe in our head coaches, who have all been highly successful in the past. But we understand that we need to provide them with the tools to be successful. I believe we have a resource challenge, not a head coaching issue. Let me explain.

College athletics has undergone widespread, unprecedented change in recent years. Student-athletes can now transfer liberally and become eligible the next year. They are also able to earn compensation by monetizing their Name, Image & Likeness (NIL), or entering into Revenue Sharing (Rev Share) agreements and being paid directly by their school.

Currently, NCAA Division I institutions such as UTEP can provide student-athletes with up to $20.5 million annually. The reality is, few schools at our level come close to matching that number. Still, it’s an “arms race,” and the schools with the most money are most likely to entice the most talented student-athletes to join their program and give them the best chance of enjoying success.

Last year, our fundraising efforts produced $1.1 million which we could allocate to Rev Share for recruiting and retaining football and basketball student-athletes. We anticipate having $3.45 million for Rev Share during the 2026-27 athletic year – a sizeable jump, but this number still needs to grow to keep up with our Mountain West (MW) peers.

We are grateful for our donors who contributed a record $12 million in fiscal year 2025. You may be wondering why more of this total wasn't allocated to Rev Share. Of the $12 million raised, $8 million was dedicated to our Climb Higher initiative which helped UTEP cover the exit fees and forfeiture of revenue associated with departing Conference USA. Essentially, our donors helped us keep the lights on the past two years! Now that we are in a more stable financial position entering the MW, we are able to allocate over $2.3 million from our budget to Rev Share which will supplement donor contributions, giving us the aforementioned $3.45 million budget.

You may have also read that UTEP has one of the top budgets for men’s basketball in CUSA. This is also accurate, but these monies are utilized solely for general operating expenses. The costs of team travel and recruiting are higher here due to our isolated location and factor into our basketball budget.

All told, it is an exciting time for UTEP Athletics as we officially join the MW on July 1. We have a tremendous opportunity as a fan base and community to bring UTEP back to national prominence, but we can't continue on our current path and expect different results. What is needed now is a unified Miner Nation and a collective investment from campus, students, alumni, donors and the El Paso community to ensure competitive success in our new home.

If you’re asking, “How can I help?,” the answer is simple. Get involved! Buy season tickets, join the Miner Athletic Club for as little as $9.15 per month, and contribute to our competitive excellence funds in support of the team(s) of your choice. If you’re a business owner, become a corporate partner and/or buy a group experience for your employees.

As we look to the future of UTEP Athletics, it will take all of us to “Reach the Peak” in the MW. I urge each of you to share this with your friends, family and UTEP fans far and wide, and ask them to join us in our fight. Help us to elevate our competitive success, pursue championships relentlessly, and “Climb Higher” as an athletic department and El Paso community.

Thank you and Go Miners!

Jim Senter 
Vice President and Director of Athletics”

Not a single UTEP Color or logo in fucking sight. Get this dumb, useless piece of shit the fuck out of my city and the fuck off my team.

[Adrian Broaddus @AdrianBroaddus]

UTEP QB Malachi Nelson met with the media today to discuss the latest for the Miners.

The team faces LA Tech Saturday, which has beaten UTEP 3 straight times. #MinerTalk

@Germanf98Gfa This is supposed to prove your point?

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

I would like to announce that I will be starting a GoFundMe for the Broadcaster Andy Morgan. Looking to raise 25k to send him to Turkey so he can get a good Turkish hair transplant. Like this tweet if you plan on donating!

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

@Germanf98Gfa His ass not accepting his baldness. He got hair and a 8head and i hate to have to see it. I cant remember the last time i saw a female look that unkept on tv. #doublestandard

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

Does Coach want to lose this game? Why is Malachi still in this game?

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

Idk whats been worse. The production of this game on television or the product on the field. UTEP Athletics expects people to pay $21 to see this? They need to get a fucking grip down there. @UTEPAthletics #MinerTalk

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

Yes please. Keep jumping! Havent scored since your second possession. You cant tackle to save your life. But yea KEEP UP THE JUMPING. WE ARE LOSING BECAUSE WE ARENT JUMPING!!!!!

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

Yes. Please cut to a mic with horrible audio. I love how that sounds

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

I love how during this UTEP game the colors keep getting drastically changed from shot to shot. This is some grade-a game production

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]

Horrible production on this utep Game.

[UTEP Miners Centel @TheUtepCentel]
