The University of New Mexico men's soccer team found out last week that their upcoming spring season was no longer — or maybe never was — in the plans after it was informed by the Athletic Department.
In August, the University of New Mexico Board of Regents voted to eliminate men's soccer, as well as beach volleyball and both men's and women's skiing. The programs were supposed to continue through July 1, 2019, when they are scheduled to be discontinued.
Men's soccer recently sent a letter to UNM Athletics Director Eddie Nuñez, requesting confirmation of certain resources the team expected to have entering the spring season — including training sessions, a coaching staff, five spring matches, a training staff and medical services and academic advisement.
