New Mexico State's “wonderful” and “insightful” President and Chancellor Gary Carruthers thought it would be a good idea to go on air and say that if the Aggies were to win six football games this year, they may have to decline an invitation due to the bowl’s location.
Speaking to El Paso’s KTSM, Carruthers said “If you stick us too far out east, then it becomes a financial issue with our fans. If you are obligated to buy X number of tickets and we can’t sell them to our fans, then it would be a costly enterprise.
