UTEP fan intrusion Welcome aboard...I don't know the NIL figure (others might have a better estimate), but I'm going to assume that it is pretty low compared to MW standards. But, part of the arrangement in moving to the MW was that we needed to upgrade facilities and pour more money into recruiting.
Regarding the mbb team, we have a very experienced coaching staff. I think you can sum up our teams over the years as doing more with less (we've had some quality players, though). We are never going to wow you with our athleticism or offensive prowess (or size). But no one will work harder on defense and we "usually" play a smart game. As for this years team, it's all going to depend on the transfers (that'\ statement can be made of a lot of teams in the current era). You can usually pencil us in for mid to upper end of the BW standings, so middle of the MW standing sounds about right. But again, we've supposedly increased our recruiting budget, so we'll see if that translates to more talent.
The WBB team is also lead by a very experienced staff. We've had some very good mid-major teams over the years and seem to always compete for a BW title. Not sure how that will translate this year to the MW. I'm going to guess we'll be up near the top, but this current team has quite a few holes to fill. As long as Coach Gross and the rest of the staff is in place, though, I always have confidence that we'll turn out a quality mid-major product.
Already purchased my MW+ account so ready to watch the Ags and all our new conference mates. Go Ags!
