RE: Why not New Mexico for a western team?

The people that keep mentioning New Mexico and UNLV dont understand that there is ZERO upside to those markets. A California school like Fresno St has 2.6 million people living in the surrounding valley area (more than the entire state of New Mexico and nearly equal to the entire state of Nevada) PLUS they have a secondary market of 37 million million Californians that might have a more casual interest in watching Fresno games on TV. Thats a huge potential upside that Nevada and New Mexico cant provide. There is just no reason to take UNLV and New Mexico. Both have bad football and limited markets.
Don't forget there are misplaced Californians all over the country....I was born in California and I go to school in Alabama but I still follow USC and most the Cali teams.
