When we win 2-3 games every year, at least one of those is usually against UNM/UTEP. They are the only home game where we fill the stands. That all goes away at FCS. And the body bag games are huge for our Athletic Department bottom line.

NMSU is a basketball school. Always has been, always will be. NM is a basketball state. We live and die with basketball. That's our bread and butter. I realize that football is the cash cow and most popular sport in all of America. But in NM, basketball is king.

Explaining it is a hopeless endeavor. They just don't get it. Its like a bus full of back seat ad's. The same people will continue saying "why doesn't NMSU just..."

I wish Martin would have bolted after the bowl year so he'd have to give us money like Weir lol. Although the Weir money probably gets counted separately.
