Update on the 2024 OOC part of the schedule

[Wyokie]

Now originally, we were supposed to play 7 home games in 2024.

Not anymore.

The basics are this. the New Mexico State game got moved to 2032 (the same year we play at California).

As a replacement for NMSU next year, we play at North Texas to start a 4-game series with them.

Why do we need a four game series with North Texas?

if I had to guess, same reason the MWC has long been pushing to try to add a team from Texas: Recruiting.

AFA has been the most vocal about it (Texas is huge for service academies), but Wyoming and Boise State also recruit heavily in Texas and the MWC in general really wants that recruiting market. That's never been a secret.

UNT has coincidentally been one of the teams the MWC has talked to in the past in conference alignment discussions.
