NMMI is a Prep school and Military Junior college. They would then have 6th - college seniors on campus, together. Not sure if that would be a good thing. But they do have a few famous alumni, especially Owen Wilson!

I would be very surprised if they were to move to a 4 year school. That would make the following in the state.
UNM
NMSU
Western NMU
Eastern NMU
NM Highlands
NM Tech
Northern New Mexico

I do not think the population of the state could support any more. As it is, NMMI gets a bulk of their student population from out of state, and internationally as well.


Yeah, but they would be hurting right now in the NJCAA right now. 5 of their conference mates in Arizona dropped football. That only leaves them, Snow, Central Arizona, Arizona Western and Eastern Arizona with 5 football schools. There are hints that Navajo Tech could be joining the NAIA. They are also a New Mexico school. They are ramping up their sports. Dine in Arizona could join the NAIA as well. NMMI could actually be good for NAIA. There could be a new conference in the future for the NAIA Arizona schools, Snow College who hinted that they could go 4 years in the state of Utah. Plus the last three Arizona NJCAA football schools. Seems the last three are offering bachelor degrees in certain fields like RNs which their communities really need a school like that.
