NM, NM State, and UTEP have a rivalry that exists for all sports
the schools sponsor. If the MWC is forced to fill spots vacated because the Big XII or even Pac-12 lured a school away from the conference, then the MWC may want to add schools that already have a rivalry with existing members to help with the content. Plus, NM State has been pretty good in men's basketball recently and I think UTEP has made a couple postseason appearances recently. My point is that a G5 conference may not have the luxury to be picky about its members because it isn't in the same position as a P5 conference.
