The Texas–Pan American Broncs (also UTPA) were the varsity athletic teams representing University of Texas–Pan American in Edinburg, Texas in intercollegiate athletics. The university sponsored 15 teams including men and women's basketball, cross country, golf, tennis, and track and field (indoor and outdoor); soccer and volleyball for women only; and baseball for men only. The newest varsity sport is women's soccer, added for the 2014 season (2014–15 school year). Men's soccer will be added in the following season, bringing the total to 16 sports.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Official Athletics Website of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley )〕 The Broncs compete in the NCAA Division I and are currently members of the Western Athletic Conference.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UTPA to join Western Athletic Conference )〕 The 2014–15 school year was the last season for UTPA as an institution. On July 1, 2015, UTPA merged with the University of Texas at Brownsville to create the new University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Project South Texas: Timeline )〕 The University of Texas System stated in July 2014 that "the UTPA athletics program will be converted into the athletics program at UTRGV". On November 5, 2014, UTRGV's new nickname of Vaqueros was announced. Almost immediately, students on both campuses began objecting to the new name as a caricature and racial stereotype of Mexican, Latino, Chicano, and Hispanic culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UTPA, UTB students plan protests against “Vaqueros” mascot )〕 Two days after the new mascot was approved, the UTPA student government passed a resolution in opposition, and three days later, hundreds of students rallied on the Edinburg campus to protest the new name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UTPA students protest against Vaqueros )〕 == Teams == The University of Texas–Pan American sponsored teams in seven men's and eight women's NCAA sanctioned sports, with women's soccer as the most recent addition in 2014. Note that the NCAA classifies indoor and outdoor track and field as separate sports. However, when determining scholarship limits, it combines both forms of track and field with cross country.
