New Mexico State suspends men's basketball program, places coach and staff on paid administrative leave

New Mexico State University announced Friday night its men's basketball program has been indefinitely suspended, according to The Associated Press. The school also placed first-year coach Greg Heiar and his staff on paid administrative leave for "violations of university policy."

Though a reason behind the moves was not given, the university did say the decision is unrelated to a deadly shooting involving NMSU power forward Mike Peake on Nov. 19. Peake, 21, was shot in the leg at the University of New Mexico hours before a rivalry game between the two schools.

He was reportedly lured to the campus by 19-year-old Brandon Travis and three other NMSU students, including a 17-year-old girl. Travis was also shot during the exchange and later died from his injuries. Peake was suspended in early December while a third-party investigator looked into his involvement in the shooting.

Peake has not been charged, and a December report from KOAT stated that video evidence showed three teammates – Issa Muhammed, Marchelus Avery and Anthony Roy – pick him up at the scene in a yellow Camaro before police arrived. They reportedly took him to a hospital.

“Hazing allegations” I guess it means there was something that went rather far beyond the old shaving-cream trick.

And then the rest of the article is about the shooting, not about the suspension of the program.

ChatGPT could write better than this.

The thug culture seems to run deep in the NMSU program. Such a pretty campus in Las Cruces though.
