New MWC Possibility:

For UTEP's sake, it's best for NMSU to remain in CUSA or go Pac12. This allows us to schedule them OOC for football. For basketball it will make things easier to get quality opponents into the Don.......they come into ELP to play NMSU for a conference game, we get them the day after or before in an OOC game at the Don.
I don't think it's ever worked that. And I'm pretty sure it hasn't in the recent past.

I'd rather have them in the MWC and be able to schedule those 3 OOC games per year ourselves

New MWC Possibility:

I listened to some of the press conference. Notes:
Senter said the MWC is helping UTEP with some money for exit/entrance fees and didn’t not expand further.

Said his football scheduling is messed up now because of switching to MWC. He went over the teams, but also included Utah St and Texas St. He probably misspoke on Utah St, and he also could have done the same with Texas St too. So maybe Texas St is coming too.

Then talked about scheduling home and homes with Moccia, which would indicate that NMSU is not going to be joining.

This could be just usual AD speak on both things, but we will see.
I caught that Texas St quote as well and thought he might have let the cat out of the bag.

Oh gawd Senter, please don't do home and home with NMSU in same season! Pleeeeeeaaaasssseee don't!

They had to with Liberty two to three seasons ago because at the time they couldn't schedule teams to fill their independent schedule.

At the end of the day the UTEP/NMSU rivalry won’t be going anywhere. It’s too beneficial for both schools.
