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.

The PAC already had to take USU, and can't touch UNLV who signed the MW's agreement to stay until 2032. Gonzaga will also get a full share with no football which is 70% of a media deal's value. Outside of San Diego what other large metros can they pitch to networks? This seems like a mess already.

They are playing there while they rebuild their stadium. If I also remember correctly they have nice facilities for other sports
