Is that true? I don't see how having NMSU as a full member offers an advantage to the western Sun Belt teams. If anything, it's a disadvantage, since they already have to travel quite far within the conference. Plus, it's more competition for CFP money. But if they wanted NSMU full in, wouldn't they have voted against booting them out?

Basically, the entire Sun Belt western lineup voted for NMSU as an all sport member. Remember, you need 2/3rds to gain admission. And also note that the Sun Belt has 2 non-football members (UT-Arlington and Little Rock) which retain full voting rights in the matter. There are 12 full voting members of the Belt. NMSU had to convince 8 teams to stay in. They got some votes, just not 8.
