New Mexico State University shut down its men’s basketball program indefinitely on Friday night because of what it called “new allegations, separate from the events that took place in Albuquerque late last year, involving potential violations of university policy.”
The school did not elaborate on the new allegations but said it has begun an investigation, and that first-year head coach Greg Heiar and his basketball staff have been placed on administrative leave.
Minutes after that announcement, the school also sent out a statement from the NMSU Board of Regents saying in part, “The board supports the action taken by the university leaders and is confident a full and thorough investigation will be conducted.
