RE: Why isn't NMSU taking Idaho's place?

The SBC also decided not to keep us when the NCAA ruled that a conference needs only 10 football teams to have a conference championship.
Depending on how this current season finishes out, and with our future schedules, we may be re invited to the SBC. There are some universities that wanted us to stay and we very well could move over there for full membership if the WAC continues to implode.
NMSU would be a good fit for the Sunbelt, and the SunBelt would be agood fit for the Raggies. They'd elevate basketball in the league, and it's a league they've now shown repeatedly they can compete in football in. I think you have to hold out for that until you just can't hold out anymore financially.
