LAS CRUCES — When the New Mexico State Board of Regents meet on Friday to consider a proposal for an athletic conference change, it appears they will have a formal invitation to consider.
Yahoo Sports reporter Pete Thamel reported on Wednesday that Conference USA has, “invited Liberty, Jacksonville State, New Mexico State and Sam Houston to join the league.”
Thamel also said a potential $2 million entrance fee “appears to be the last major issue.”
New Mexico State did not confirm Thamel’s report on Wednesday.
On Monday, Action Network’s Brett McMurphy reported that FBS independents New Mexico State and Liberty and FCS members Jacksonville State and Sam Houston State were “likely” to join Conference USA as full members.
