I find this surprising, as the Rainbow Warriors play football in a high school stadium and I doubt the rest of their facilities are up to D1 standards. I guess its cheaper to continue to supplement their travel expenses that add someone like SAC STATE. The SAC KINGS just offered their arena to the Hornets when open dates are available so they are getting a lot of community support in the nation's 20th largest media market.

They are playing there while they rebuild their stadium. If I also remember correctly they have nice facilities for other sports

Now that Texas State is out, this makes way more sense than adding Tarleton State or pulling up an FCS school like NDSU. 

New Mexico must really not want NMSU to join the MWC.

The rest of the MWC just needs to overrule UNM.  NMSU would be a great fit and already a rival to both UNM and UTEP.
