I just looked up McNeese's roster. They went so hard into the Portal/NIL.......that their whole roster is nothing but seniors and juniors (one freshman)..... And they went 18-0 at home last year. https://mcneesesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster

Where are all the fans? The stands were pretty empty to start when UNT kicked off its game against Golden Hurricane at DATCU Stadium. It didn’t get much better throughout the night and emptied out by the time the Mean Green finished off a 52-20 win.

What a kick in the nuts it would be to have your game bought out by McNeese....

Now that Texas State is out, this makes way more sense than adding Tarleton State or pulling up an FCS school like NDSU. New Mexico must really not want NMSU to join the MWC.

The McNeese State coach is Will Wade. Got fired at LSU for recruiting violations.....when that was still a thing. He went to McNeese....and a lot of big money LSU fans went with him. McNeese now has lots of NIL money...and that helped them win 30 games last season. So with Wade's reputation, and them being flush with cash.....I won't be shocked if they buy out the return game.
