Pointing out NMSUs deficiencies in FB does not cancel out the delusional attitude of Tarleton becoming the pillar of Texas athletics because they’re switching conferences. If switching conferences automatically granted you God status NMSU would be raining down lighting bolts on everyone right now.

Tarleton does have one thing that NMSU does not.

A stable football situation.

And that includes playing four other schools inside their own state as a conference game. They also have significantly more upside too as far as what they can accomplish (reasonable access to the postseason, not playing a schedule chalk full of money games, etc.) in turn.

Here we go. Was wonder how long it would take for the narrative to go from "NMSU was a pillar in getting the SLC defectors to go WAC and encourage FBS ambitions" to "screw NMSU, you guys suck, why do you even have FB?!?!"

Gotta love these SLC defectors.

Well, before they officially defected, they were voted out. So they in turn, did something worse to Chicago State to show they are above the fray and a classy group who is easy to work with.

One might say they are more like the Southland defecated, than defected.

The Chicago move doesn't bother me other than the classless manner in which it was publicly handled. Also not wanting or being capable of toughing through one season of travel to Chicago speaks volumes of what to expect from the SLC defectors. Then of course we got the "boot Seattle" nonsense on the heels of the Chicago stuff. Fun times ahead.

That’s exactly what bugged me too. I’m all for what the Texas schools as well as SUU and Dixie bring to the table, some bring immediate help in certain sports, some are projects for help down the road after they transition. But it’s the attitude that they’re somehow the savior of the conference and every other school should kiss their ass cuz Texas.
