If you look at their schedules, they are really empty after September. They filled 2018 because of Liberty, but even with Liberty they will probably only have 5 home games, two against FCS in 2019. (there are very few remaining G5 options to come to Las Cruces and maybe none will fill any but the Sept. 28th slot in 2019, and require a return game by NMSU). Hawaii unfortunately is just another set of September games. This is their big problem, without a huge wad of cash like Liberty has to throw around.

That said, it's good for NMSU to get more western opponents. The 2021 schedule especially looks good from that stand point with 5 MWC and UTEP. But the same post September problem remains, and September is filled up.

ULL was suppose to be the other home game for NMSU in 2019, but they picked up someone else. Per the contract, it is their responsibility to find NMSU another D1 opponent. If they don't they will owe NMSU some money.
