Football may finally be coming to the Rio Grande Valley.
The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has announced its intention to pursue the creation of a football team with former Texas head coach Mack Brown leading the study committee.
The fastest growing university in Texas, UTRGV is a consolidated university that includes the former University of Texas at Brownsville and University of Texas Pan American campuses. Aiming to reach 50,000 students in the coming years, UTRGV is also working to open a medical school in their efforts to bring top-tier education to the criminally under-served Rio Grande Valley.
