After making its debut last Fall, The Prospector Digest returns to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) as an alternate episode to season 13 of The Prospector Podcast!

We head back to the Education Building to host discussions revolving around UTEP’s Fast Track program, the implications of money games in collegiate sports, and finally, we speak to associate athletic director of fan engagement and digital strategy, Jon Washington, over the state of free athletic tickets open to students. Washington speaks on how marketing is adapting to an evolving digital landscape, and teases changes to the student ticketing process.
