It makes sense given both schools are geographic outliers
(especially Idaho) from the 10 Sun Belt schools. Idaho really should be a member of the Big Sky and New Mexico State should probably be a member of either Conference USA (rivalry with UTEP) or the Mountain West (rivalry with New Mexico). I wonder if the Sun Belt's lack of desire to hold a CCG was a factor in kicking both schools out. Even though the bylaws don't explicitly said that a conference with 12 or more members must divide up into 2 division and play a CCG, that is what all the FBS conferences ended up doing when they had at least 12 members.
