New Mexico already spends nearly $19,000 per college student—way above the national average—yet UNM and NMSU are asking for even more taxpayer money to keep up in the fast-changing world of college athletics. With NIL deals now costing schools millions, is it fair to keep raising the bill for New Mexicans, especially when big donors are scarce? It’s a tough call: should we keep pouring money into sports, or focus on other priorities? Curious to hear how everyone feels about this balancing act. #Sports #NewMexico #CollegeSports
