LAS CRUCES — New Mexico State is in negotiations with Conference USA to join the current six-team league, according to a report from The Athletic’s Chris Vannini. The conference is also in negotiations with Liberty and UConn, although UConn would join as a football-only member.
Conference USA has lost six of its members to the American Athletic Conference, and two more schools could potentially leave the school for the Sun Belt in the near future. The move could put the Aggies in their first football conference since they were voted out of the Sun Belt following the 2017-18 football season.
