New Mexico is a poor ass State, their public unis have a fraction of what ND posses. A televised game with ND will be the only national exposure those players will ever receive. It means a hell of a lot to a kid who may have worked his ass off to get a scholie, especially if they came by way of a JUCO, to get any exposure. ND is giving struggling regional programs a chance to do something for their players and programs that they woudn't get otherwise. New Mexico has a connection to ND, and could use the help. WTF does attendance have anything to do with anything? Just STFU....
