I will say this about NMSU from a fan perspective only. I don’t think there’s many fans that would rather have UC Davis in the MWC over NMSU. However, being in a different conference will “improve” non-conference schedules. A winnable football game and 1 or 2 decent basketball games.
Them being in the same conference really hurts the basketball schedule.
