Commissioner of the Mountain West Conference Gloria Nevarez recently paid a visit to the home of one of the conference’s newest additions, UTEP. Nevarez took an extensive campus tour and was met with the university’s top donors and major media outlets on Jan. 10 at the Larry K. Durham Center.
“Y’all belong with us, you look like us, you fit with us,” Nevarez said. “When we launch our strategic plans, we survey all the fans, the media, [and] thousands of focus groups. But the special sauce that is the Mountain West is who we are as institutions. We are very community-based.
