New Mexico State athletics director McKinley Boston confirmed Tuesday that NMSU football will operate as an independent program in 2013.
This came after Western Athletic Conference commissioner Jeff Hurd told the Denver Post the WAC would not be a football-playing conference next season. Boston said the athletics department had forecasted that outcome prior to Hurd’s comments.
“We all have been pretty certain that the WAC would not operate in the fall of 2013 as a football conference,” Boston said. “We’ve been looking at football scheduling for the fall of 2013 as a possible independent, so we’ve been operating under that assumption.”
