The University of Texas board of regents approved a two-year contract extension and a raise for UTEP football coach Dana Dimel that now has him under contract through the 2024 season.
Dimel was heading into the final year of his first contract with UTEP, coming off leading the Miners to a bowl for the first time in seven years. His salary will increase to $850,000, up from $748,966 last year.
Volleyball coach Ben Wallis also is receiving a five-year extension following the program's first postseason appearance in its history. After UTEP added beach volleyball in January, Wallis, who will coach that program as well, was named director of volleyball.
