LAS CRUCES, New Mexico - With the Mountain West, Mid-American, Big Ten, and Pac-12 conferences reversing course and opting to play this fall, there are just three FBS programs not playing football in 2020.
UCONN, Old Dominion, and New New Mexico State.
So now almost two months after postponing his season, does NMSU Athletic Director Mario Moccia regret pulling the plug on fall football?
“You make the decision that you make with the information you have at the time," says Moccia, who made the decision on August 13th.
"If we all had time machines we could figure things out. But our fear was that when the conferences started up that they were only gonna play in-conference games which puts independents at very difficult spot, if you're not Notre Dame or Army."
When postponing the season, Moccia had stated that NMSU’s goal was to play football in the spring. The team has been on campus working out this whole time.
