Isn’t for sure yet, but is very likely happening. Deny it if you want to though, I don’t care.
Pros:
Games will have more meaning
Final game of football and basketball season should be this game. Should put a little more zest in the rivalry now.
2 more non-conference basketball games opened up
1 non-conference football game opened up
Cons:
2 more non-conference basketball games opened up. Senter might replace them with more D2 games or two home games versus 300+ NET teams.
1 more non-conference football game opened. Like basketball, maybe this will be beneficial and we will see games versus AAC and SBC teams or more P5 paycheck games. Will probably result in a higher percentage of losses than playing NMSU like we do now.
TBD:
If NMSU outperforms UTEP in league standings and head to head, do they jump in front of UTEP if the MWC expands? Hard to imagine the MWC takes the worst of the two. Especially since everything would be level.
