RE: NMSU Basketball Controversy
State of New Mexico is moving around how they fund the NMSU AD’s salary in light of the challenges associated with the department in recent memory with the incidents that are well documented.

Quote:According to the May 16 letter, addressed to the NMSU Board of Regents and Interim Chancellor Jay Gogue, "It is the position of the New Mexico Higher Education Department and Governor (Michelle) Lujan Grisham that, given the heinous nature of the incidents that occurred under Director Moccia’s tenure, state funds should not be applied toward his salary or compensation until and unless a thorough independent investigation has cleared him of any culpability or wrongdoing."

UNM Politicians. They control the state.

From the article link:

Quote:However, due to concerns surrounding multiple off-court incidents last season involving the New Mexico State men’s basketball program, Moccia’s salary is being paid through athletic foundation funds rather than university funds, allocated by the state, at the demand of state leaders following a May letter from Higher Education Department Cabinet Secretary Stephanie Rodriguez.

Rodriguez earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the UNM's School of Architecture and Planning, where she is a former provost fellow and guest lecturer.

Quote:In a letter dated June 6, Gogue wrote that effective May 16, Moccia’s salary, “is being paid 100 percent by the Aggie Athletic Club (AAC). The AAC is the philanthropic arm of NMSU Athletics. All funds related to the AAC are deposited with the NMSU Foundation. Funds include private donations provided for the support of NMSU Athletics operations as well as proceeds from memberships, suite and club seat sales, and various AAC special events held throughout the year. Director Moccia’s compensation will continue to be paid by AAC pending the outcome of all investigations.”

A University spokesman this week told the Sun-News that Moccia's contract is still being paid with AAC funds until a New Mexico Attorney General investigation is completed.
