New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule

Can we have a 13 game schedule (sans a conference championship)? Schedule Baylor AND McNeese/Nicholls?

That said, what if the players want a sixth home game? Should they have a say-so?

I'd bet my money, if given a choice, the player would rather go on the road and play in a great environment vs the sad crowds at Cajun Field.

I believe that would be correct. Not only that, but the opportunity to prove yourself to the P5 world is a great motivator.

I am sure CUSA affiliation will take care of that one also. The sad thing is that Maggard scheduled the independent desperate to put together a schedule in the first place. That seems to be taking the easy road rather than working to get someone here that will spark interest in your fan base.

Any H and H in football with NMSU should always be tied to a H and H in basketball.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this thought...Why the race to the bottom to fill out your schedule?

The elephant in the room is the obsession with 6 home games. That scheduling of NMSU probably would never have happened if not for that.

It's gonna be Baylor or another SLC school.

We'll either schedule a financial windfall and an opportunity for program growth or an empty victory.

I’d take that trip to Wacko.
