Moving around dates for the Professional Bull Riders circuit’s visit to the Pit to accommodate an opportunity for the University of New Mexico men’s and women’s basketball teams to host a game deep into a postseason tournament will be impossible for at least the next four years, according to a contract finalized Jan. 21.

The three-day PBR Ty Murray Invitational, which proved to be a great success, concluded on Sunday, the first year of a five-year contract between the PBR and UNM that has these dates agreed upon in the contract.
