“We’re repaying,” Chavez, a UNM graduate and president of Dreamstyle Remodeling, a highly successful Albuquerque business, said in a phone interview. “If I hadn’t gone to UNM, I might not be sitting here.”

How can the Mountain West reclaim the top Group of Five status?
The question is whether the MW can get back to being the top Group of 5 conference in the nation, which was all but assured prior to realignment. But since Utah, BYU and TCU left the conference and was replaced with Boise State, Fresno State, Nevada, Hawaii, San Jose State and Utah State, the MW has only once been tops among the Group of 5. If the MW is going to get back to the top, it starts this week in non-conference play.
