New Mexico athletic director Paul Krebs, under investigation for using school funds to fund a 2015 golf vacation to Scotland, announced Friday that he will retire June 30.
Krebs, who had been under contract through 2019, has spent the past 11 years at New Mexico and is the longest-tenured athletic director in the Mountain West Conference.
Last week, New Mexico attorney general Hector Balderas opened an investigation into the use of state money to send university officials and several boosters on the golf trip to Scotland. The Albuquerque Journal reported Friday, citing sources, that the decision for Krebs to retire occurred before the news about the Scotland trip broke last week.
