This is not like TAMU and Mizzou coming to the SEC. Playing in the SEC is the pinnacle. No way kids in and around UNM would choose to play in the B12 over an SEC school.

And keep in mind, they haven't been much in any sport for a long time. They've had a little bit of recent baseball success due to our collapse under Polk 2, but now that we're moving back into a rightful place, they won't be a huge factor there.

They've never been particularly good at basketball, and their football success since segregation has been built on a foundation of cheating. Once busted, they are going to suck even worse.
I agree but you are comparing them to us. I'm comparing them to Memphis and the other teams that were jockeying for a spot in the Big 12. And I'm not saying they are going to continue to be relevant in football but at least they would "win the party" in the Big 12.***
