As mentioned in the CollegeSportsInfo.com post on UTPA & the Great West, there have been recent discussions by the Great West football conference about expanding to all sports. This came to be known with UT-PA seeking a conference home.

Now it looks to be official:

Action 4 Sports now has a date for an important athletics announcement from the University of Texas-Pan American.

The Rio Grande Valley university’s athletic program has gone without a conference affiliation for the past decade.

But UTPA administrators have changed that.

They recently joined the Great West Conference.

The Broncs are now expected to hold press conference to discuss their admission on July 11 at 10 a.m.
