Nuñez says he’s committed to UNM despite overtures from Miami

University of New Mexico athletic director Eddie Nuñez said on Wednesday he remains committed to the Lobos after media reports surfaced that link him to the athletic director opening at Miami.

Nuñez emerged as “a top candidate” for Miami’s vacant athletic director position, The Athletic reported on Tuesday.

Nuñez, a Miami native, told the Journal that he does not consider himself a candidate for the job with the Hurricanes, though he declined to confirm or deny if he had been or remains in contact with the school. He said he’s honored and humbled that his name has been mentioned.
