As long as NMSU is a Division-I member on the gridiron, it will be eligible for a bowl game, a deciding factor still part of every player's dreams when deciding on their college destination. Former Aggie running back Justine Buries said for him, playing in a conference where opposing teams were close to his hometown of Dallas was a key component in choosing the Aggies. NMSU was a part of the Sun Belt Conference when it signed Buries, meaning he would face off against North Texas University, located in nearby Denton. "Besides that, coming out of high school, every player wants to say, 'D-I,"' Buries said. "I think that's the biggest precedent, is if it's D-I. After that, it's who do you play?"

Boise State, Denver and Seattle are non-football members. Texas State also could be on its way out if the Sun Belt loses a school to Conference USA and the Sun Belt adds the Bobcats to keep a foot in Texas. Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson told Vandal Nation: "I don't expect Texas State will be without a place to play football." If all of the reported teams leave, the WAC will be in an almost impossible position. It's already tried to court several teams from the FCS ranks and has consistently been turned down.
