GO AGGIES!!!!
If the WAC becomes a FCS conference you won’t have as many spots available for cash games against P5 out of conference opponents. Get the money while you can

The WAC becoming FCS has no bearing on NMSU since we are FBS. Unless I'm not understanding you. Please elaborate.

Yeah, nothing an FCS WAC (if it happens) does has anything to do with our football. Our scheduling goes on as it has since 2018. Playing Tarleton was a convenience due to no FBS opportunities in Spring for us, not because our other sports share a conference.

RE: Tarleton vs NMSU Football
Buy games might almost be easier in FBS WAC. If the WAC played an 8 game schedule, that would get us 4 home games, and then we would have one home game against either UNM or UTEP, for a total of five home games. That leaves two games for us to whore ourselves out, without having to worry about the 5 home game minimum.
Next year we're playing Bama and Kentucky as buy games, but we still have to schedule a fifth home game (who we will probably have to pay).
And of course, the other WAC schools will be able to schedule buy games, too, so there may be more competition.

So, 8 conference game, plus UTEP and UNM with one home and the other away, and you’d use the remaining two sports to schedule buy games against p5’s?

Unless the conference (WAC?) signs a TV contract to garnering substantial revenue and had bowl tie ins, NMSU would need two money games to fund FBS football.

You have 12 games to work with.
In their case, they have their two biggest rivals + 8 conference games.
Everyone wants the rivalry games and Some conference games will turn into rivalries with enough time. Thats a pretty nice setup if you ask me.
With two other games to work with, you can buy an FCS home game, take a P5 payday or get another G5 home and home setup to spice things up and keep every year from being the same.
Two money games puts you in a hole for bowl Eligibility but it may be a necessary evil for the program to grow. Those games put more eyeballs on your program.
Most conferences seem to do 3 or 4 OOC games and then conference. So this doesn't seem too bad.
Now imagine FBS ACU. You have 8 conference games and 4 games available to do whatever. What do you do?

RE: Tarleton vs NMSU Football
The talk has gone from all of the reasons NMSU should be FCS, with explanations of how much sense it makes to people, to giving up that stupid idea, and now we've moved on to an imaginary FBS WAC and fantasies on how that will work.
This is DavidSt level. Good lord...

The crux of the conversation was how NMSU can fund/grow its athletic department, not how a WAC FBS league would work. Would you rather we relitigate who the 14th team would be?

Nay, the crux of the conversation was how did FBS Nmsu get their butts handed to them by lowly D2 moveup Tarleton. Then, as they always do when they lose, *some* nmsu fans begin to suffer from diarrhera of the mouth, aka endless excuses, and we end up where we're at now, some 7 pages of douchebaggery.

Well, good thing NMSU doesn't typically lose in basketball. And, Aggie football won't be in the newly formed FCS WAC. There won't be too many of these threads then.

Since I’ve been on here giddy NMSU fans have posted endlessly about how easy it would be for the new WAC to move to FBS because the NCAA has reserved us a spot at the head of the new conference line, and how it is likely to happen sooner rather than later. Now it’s imaginary “DavidST” stuff?
And most of us under stand that you aren’t going to drop to FCS. It’s for the same reason high dollar escorts don’t get a regular day job. $$$$

Lowly?! I thought I read on another thread that Tartleton St. was the crown jewel of central Texas. We should be so lucky to even be on the same message board with fans from such a heralded institution. We promise in the future everything will be Tartleton St, God and Country so as not to offend Tartleton fans. I apologize to the fullest as an NMSU fan for being upset that we lost a game. I realize now we’re the only fan base that does that.
