Cetys University in Tijuana, Mexico is looking into joining the NCAA D2. They even have football.

I saw that article. I'm not sure what to make of their $1.2 million budget. Certainly that's a fraction of what it would take to run a successful program in the US, but is it possible that costs are so much lower in Mexico? Their travel budget would balloon for sure.

That they could join the CCAA doesn't seem credible either. Those are all California public schools.

yes, costs for scholarships, etc are lower in Mexico.

Do you realize how isolated from the rest of Mexico Tijuana is?

The head of the President's Council for the CCAA is a big supporter of this move. So it is credible. Whether she can convince the others remains to be seen, but they have support.
