NMSU Conference Affiliation

[El Paso Eagle]

On the local sports talk show yesterday one of the local TV
Sports guys commented that there will be an announcement, probably in March,
that NMSU has something lined up. This guy is usually fairly accurate on the
comments he makes. Of course he used the old line of “I cannot not reveal my
sources” but he did say that NMSU fans would be surprised and happy

[MeanGreen61]

NMSU would be happy with ANY FBS conference affiliation. Wish 'um luck !

[untjim1995]

NMSU is perfect for the SBC--again.

[golfingomez]

NMSU... Big Ten!!!

[LakeTravis]

SEC SEC SEC SEC

[MDH]

It can't be any worse than FAU at this point.

[mgfan]

Obviously the ACC

[oldguystudent]

The Pioneer League, and many will still say they're passing us by.

[wardly]

Best outcome would be Sun Belt for football only,and MWC for all other sports. That would offset Hawaii in MWC for football only, and all other sports in Big West.

[El Paso Eagle]

Not Unt and not interesting.

Yet you were still compelled to respond

[NM Green]

I miss playing NMSU.

GMG

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

Sounds like a family member I won't mention.... if it is not about him.... it doesn't matter.

[Travis]

I am sure they will come back to the SBC. I hope they do.

[outoftown]

They sure were on the sun belts list of possible expansion targets that came up with a FOI request some time ago

Makes me think it won't be the SBC.

Let it not be C-USA!

[oldguystudent]

Would be a good basketball add. Decent baseball team. Of course, I'm aware that none of this is even remotely about those two sports.

[buff64]

It has to be either the Big East or the Lone Star Conference.

[outoftown]

well... never rule out the big east!!!! they do crazy additions lately

[Mean Green 93-98]

Let it not be C-USA!

At this point, I really don't care. It's not as if they would dilute the product.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Right. If we have the choice to add NMSU or some other startup, give me NMSU.

I'm betting it's SBC though.

[Green Mean]

I wouldn't be opposed to having NMSU as a conference mate.

[Mean Green 93-98]

The "surprised and happy" thing makes me think Mountain West.

[UNTexas]

The "surprised and happy" thing makes me think Mountain West.

That would crush UTEP fans...

[LakeTravis]

fans would be surprised about any news from New Mexico that didn't involve meth or aliens and happy they wont be independent or FCS
