N.C. State Broadcaster to Return to Air After ‘Illegal Aliens’ Comment

N.C. State radio broadcaster Gary Hahn will be back on the air starting Jan. 14 after being suspended for making an insensitive remark during a Friday’s radio broadcast of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl between the Wolfpack and Maryland.

Learfield, which is the broadcasting partner of N.C. State athletics, told ABC11 that Hahn’s suspension would end on Jan. 14, and he would return to broadcasting duty. He was initially suspended indefinitely after he said, “Down among all the illegal aliens in El Paso, it’s UCLA: 14, Pittsburgh: 6,” when referencing the score of the Sun Bowl between UCLA and Pittsburgh in El Paso.
