Phantom, your sources have been pretty accurate, but are you sure there's no miscommunication on this? any follow up?

It doesn't seem to jive with the stated goal of expansion in the Sun Belt ( unless there's a big move for numerous additions ).

I haven't heard anything else. I would like to be wrong. I would love to be wrong. If my credibility takes a hit that is fine. The meeting to decide NMSU's and Idaho's fate in the SBC is less then 51 weeks away. A lot can happen over the next year.

I haven't any idea about the 2017 split being written in stone but I can confirm it'd take a MAJOR emergency (i.e., big SBC raid) for NMSU to ever become an all-sports SBC member again... that from a very trustworthy source (remember I'm the one who confirmed the F-U's were gone weeks before it was official -- same source).
