Look at UNM...the worst D1 school the last 3 or 4 years. If not being fresh meat was the criteria for being invited or staying in a conference for that matter, the lower levels of many conferences would be playing non D1 level ball.<br /><br />The fact is, there will be the OUs, Alabamas, UTs, USCs of the football world and there will be the UTEPs, UNMs and NMSUs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-51625269265632657862012-05-01T11:23:40.352-07:002012-05-01T11:23:40.352-07:00Here's my suspicion.

WAC will remain in place for Olympic sports and will include Seattle, NMSU, Denver, Idaho, UT Arlington, etc. This will resolve Sun Belt travel concern for NMSU since travel would only be for football.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-37148228866171423312012-05-01T10:01:01.991-07:002012-05-01T10:01:01.991-07:00Let's see... 50+ years as a pretender D1/FBS l...Let's see... 50+ years as a pretender D1/FBS losing program has been a positive step-NOT!!!Wanna keep football?

I know they try holding out thinking the WAC would survive, but it's not happening now. The MWC would make the most sense because of the natural rivalries, but it just depends on whether NMSU can sell themselves. I'm very much against the Sun Belt because that's a trash conference, but since we have a historically poor football program beggars can't be choosers. Re-alignment is killing college sports and rivalries.
