I Didn't see that one coming.
Doesn't surprise me. There just aren't a lot of home home opportunities within the region. From the Mountain time zone westward you only have three schools that are FBS that aren't in the MWC or Pac-12 (NMSU and UTEP who New Mexico regularly plays and BYU).
New Mexico is in better financial shape than most G5's but they can't buy FBS games so a newcomer makes perfect sense.
