The water park/hotel people were given 18 months to decide whether to take our $97 million dollar gift that they can use to build a $100 million hotel.
See Water park incentive totals.
The clock started ticking in November of 2018.
Could it be that they want more?
We deserve better

In responding to our inquiry about what the readers suggest we do about UTEP football this comment came in:
“Yawn. If it pays for itself, OK. If it doesn’t, get rid of it.”
We found this web page published by the Texas Tribune:
https://college-sports.texastribune.org/colleges/university-of-texas-at-el-paso/
According to the web page during the 2015-2016 school year UTEP spent $9,699,853 on their football program.
Ticket sales amounted to $582,469.
The rest of the shortfall came from student fees, university funds, NCAA fees, and contributions.
