NMSU averages 14-17k in attendance and that wasn’t good enough for a MWC invite. Are they closer to the MWC schools than NDSU is? It’s of note that NMSU got voted out of the Sunbelt because they were football only, not close to any of the member schools and had not rivalries. How do we know the CUSA would take NDSU if they found closer schools to replace NDSU. Would NDSU being a sitting time bomb in these southern conferences? Is it worth the risk?
