I think the hope is they will select programs that can eventually move up to FBS level at some point. This doesn't help NMSU for the immediate future but it would stabilize the WAC conference as a whole.

I agree with this. I think the WAC is looking to start up FCS football. But if FBS was the goal, if you could get Dixie and Tarleton to FBS, plus NMSU, don't forget about UMASS, UCONN and Liberty. That's 6 schools right there. NMSU, UMASS and Liberty are already flying all over the country to play each other. Travel would not matter too much as they are already traveling quite a bit as independents.
