    • We know that the football team lost every single game they played but led C-USA in academic performance.  I wanted to know if there is a correlation and if the UTEP coaches have been given orders to get grades up beyond what the NCAA requires.  Would it explain the losses from the football team for years and an offensive line built to push and punish but had the force of a marshmallow being pushed by a pill bug.  More importantly would it...

    • You make an interesting point.  If Natalicio stated that all of our recruits will be students first and athletes second and that we will take the results that come from that, we as fans could decide whether we are OK with that or not.  The Ivy League schools are pretty much that way, and the academies.  Of course they would also all kick our butts.  And we're not Ivy League.  UTEP accepts basically anybody.

    If that's what's going on, we don't belong in D1.  But at least tell us.  if that's not what's going on, then our coaches have really really sucked at recruiting.

    As a continuation of this thought, I seem to recall that our women's BBall team had an abnormal number of scholars as well.

    Perhaps that's why we've gotten so many El Paso kids. We all know that El Paso has always outperformed other cities in the 3 Rs. No kidding, I remember when had kids from California come to El Paso schools and they were set back a grade and vice versa, kids from El Paso or Texas promoted to the next grade(s).
