[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 230319, member: 1792"] Re football, a game against NMSU -- in Atlanta -- would be a bit better than playing a FCS-level opponent, if that's the only alternative to fill a hole in the schedule, and if Tech could get them for little more than what would be paid to the likes of a Jax State, The Citadel, Mercer, etc. (Not that I mind one FCS-level opponent most seasons, it's almost a guaranteed win unless you're playing a Top 20 program from that level, and at least one game per season for everyone on the bench to get some real time on the field is fun for all the team members.)
