UTEP Miners
The UTEP Miners is the name given to the sports teams of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). They are informally referred to as the Miners, UTEP, or Texas–El Paso. They compete in the Mountain West Conference of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of NCAA Division I. The UTEP Miners are best known as the first team in Texas to win an NCAA Men's Basketball Championship (and only team in Texas to be national champions until Baylor's victory in the 2021 tournament). UTEP's colors are orange and blue and the mascot is a miner named Paydirt Pete. UTEP previously was a member of the Western Athletic Conference from 1967 to 2005, when they joined Rice, Tulsa, and SMU in leaving the WAC for Conference USA, which they were a member until they joined the Mountain West Conference (MW) on July 1, 2026.
