Here is what should happen. The Athletic Director should resign. He had cause to fire Locksley after the attempted strangulation. Now he will have to pay to get him out of town. Locksley should voluntarily resign and just admit the whole experience in New Mexico was a disaster. He should agree to a low payout especially since the University will pay out to the assistant coach who sued. The UNM President should find some credible people to run athletics at UNM and then hold them accountable. The UNM Board of Regents should hold the President accountable for fixing things. And the Regents should be held accountable for it all.
I say all of this as a person who is not that much into Lobo athletics. I say it as a person who wants some accountability at the school. Where else could this kind of malfeasance be tolerated?

Amen. And we all know these actions will never happen. ($$$ and egos -- a deadly combination.)
If I were still a student at UNM I would be very upset about this, since the academic side is suffering because of the administration and the athletic department.
Jim,
Could not agree more.
Krebs and Locksley must go. At least Alford and B-Ball have been a bright spot in recent years.
Yep, you're dead-on with this suggestion Jim. Locksley is an embarrassment, and it's the AD who should be responsible for all that has happened.
As an aside, your observations and judgment parallel exactly what is wrong with the NM Democratic Party right now. It doesn't appear that any of the higher ups are accountable for the fuzzy ethics, lax oversight, and inside deals that are commonly in the news. This needs to be fixed before credibility can be restored. Of course, none of these guys are under contract or pulling in $750K!
