EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – Ahead of UTEP and New Mexico State’s first season in the same conference in over 60 years, there’s plenty of excitement for both schools to get their football seasons underway.
The Aggies and Miners both departed the Borderland on Monday for Tuesday’s Conference USA media day at Globe Life Park in Arlington, the home of the Texas Rangers. There, the Borderland’s representatives will be joined by the rest of the new-look, nine-team CUSA.
