Alabama will host New Mexico State at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 7, 2019. The Crimson Tide will pay the Aggies a $1.7 million guarantee for the game, according to a copy of the contract obtained from NMSU via a public records request.

New Mexico State will play their final season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference in 2017. In 2018, the Aggies begin competing as an FBS Independent.

NMSU now has a total of five games lined up for the 2019 season. In addition to facing Alabama, the Aggies host UL Lafayette (Nov. 16) and UTEP (date TBA) and will travel to Georgia Southern (Oct. 19) and New Mexico (date TBA).

Holy moly! A sign of how bad they need/want G5s for easy wins?

Good for New Mexico State.  If Alabama needs a 6th win that year, this will be a huge bargain for both teams.

RV would have had us play TWO games at Bama for this sum of cash...
