Gridiron Club - Football

The Gridiron Club provides Miner football fans with the opportunity to invest in the program directly. All funds raised in support of UTEP Football are used to complement the annual operating budget for the team, providing the coaching staff and team with the necessary resources to compete for championships and helping to create a premier student-athlete experience. All funds are managed and dispersed according to university and NCAA policies. Below are a few examples of how Gridiron Club donations are used:

Training Table Meals and Nutrition
Summer School
Equipment and Training Resources
Recruiting Expenses
Leadership Development and Team Building Programs

“The support provided by the Gridiron Club is essential in giving our student-athletes the tools needed to succeed on the field and most importantly the classroom. Last year our program posted its first winning season in seven years and returned to a bowl game. We served notice that UTEP Football is back! What is most exciting is that we are just getting started. We are looking to make the next step and contend for a C-USA Championship in 2023. I would be honored if you joined our team as a Member of the Gridiron Club. Your miners need YOU, we cannot do it without your support. PICKS UP!”
