The biggest shortcomings for UNM are that it's in a really small state, and it's not a national brand. The B12 probably doesn't see any bump in the their TV contract by adding UNM, so it's just a further division of the pie.

Long term, given the population growth in the southwest, UNM would be an excellent addition to the B12, but I don't think the B12 is thinking long term. Colorado State could also be another great add. I just don't see reaching across thousands of mile to grab a school like WVU.
Totally. Its the flagship school of the state. It's massive. It gets them closer to the pac-12 physically. Combine them with BYU and you have a massive Western expansion.

I just don't understand adding WVU.
