> WE NOW KNOW THE UNM ATHLETIC DIRECTOR EDDIE NUNEZ
HAS PLANNED TO SHORE UP THE BUDGET THAT HAVE PLAGUED THE
LOBOS FOR OVER A DECADE.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WORD SURFACED MR.
NUNEZ AND PRESIDENT GARNETT STOKES ARE
RECOMMENDING THE END OF UNM MEN'S SOCCER ALONG WITH
WOMEN'S BEACH VOLLEYBALL AND MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SKI TEAMS.
THERE ARE OTHER CUTBACKS PROPOSED INCLUDING
SCHOLARSHIPS.
ON THURSDAY MORNING, REGENTS WEIGHED IN ON THE
RECOMMENDATION.
WATCH THE MEETING ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE AT NMINFOCUS.
THE LINE PANELISTS GAVE THEIR INITIAL TAKE AS WELL.
FOLLOW THIS STORY FOR SURE.
EARLIER THIS WEEK WE WERE ABLE TO SIT DOWN WITH EDDIE NUNEZ
TO TALK ABOUT THE STATE OF THE DEPARTMENT AND WHAT FACTORS
WENT INTO HIS DECISION SUCH AS TITLE IX.
HE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS AT
THE TIME OF THAT TAPING BUT HE AND CORRESPONDENT KHALIL
EKULONA DID GET INTO A LOT OF COMPLICATED DETAILS.
>> I AM HERE WITH ATHLETIC DIRECTER EDDIE NUNEZ.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> MY PLEASURE.
>> WHY ARE HAVING ATHLETICS AND THE DEPARTMENT, WHY IS IT
IMPORTANT TO THE OVERALL HEALTH OF A SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY
LIKE UNM?
>> FOR ANY UNIVERSITY AND ESPECIALLY FOR UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO IT SHOWS THAT CAMARADERIE, IT SHOWS THE BACK
OF THE HOUSE HOW GOOD WE DO THINGS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TO SAY IT IS THE FRONT PORCH TO THE
UNIVERSITY.
EVEN IF IT IS THE FRONT, SIDE, WHATEVER PORCH YOU WANT TO
MAKE IT, WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IN ATHLETICS TO BE
A BRAND AMBASSADOR TO THE INSTITUTION AND IT IS AN
OPPORTUNITY AND A CHALLENGE THAT WE TAKE VERY SERIOUS.
SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE IS THAT BALANCE BETWEEN ATHLETICS
AND ACADEMICS AND UNM DOES A GREAT JOB DOING SO.
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS STUDENT ATHLETES ACADEMICALLY, SO, THE
IMPORTANCE OF HAVING ATHLETICS AS A BIG PART OF THE
INSTITUTION IS CRITICAL I THINK FOR THE SUCCESS OF BOTH
THE INSTITUTION AS WELL AS ATHLETICS.
>> SPEAKING OF THAT COMBINATION OF SUCCESS FOR THE
INSTITUTION AND ATHLETICS, AS WE KNOW NINE OUT OF THE
PAST 11 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN IN BUDGET DEFICIT AND IT'S NOT
NECESSARILY HEALTHY.
YOU HAVE BEEN AT THE JOB LESS THAN ONE YEAR.
WHEN YOU CAME INTO THE JOB, DID YOU UNDERSTAND THINGS WERE
THIS BAD.
>> I HAVE HAD THAT QUESTION ASKED MANY TIMES.
I UNDERSTOOD SOME OF THE COMPLEXITIES THAT EXISTED.
OF COURSE, I HAD SEEN SOME OF THE ITEMS PUBLICLY KNOWN AT
THE TIME THAT WE HAD BUDGET ISSUES, WE HAD SOME AUDITS
GOING ON.
DID I KNOW THE COMPLEXITIES OF WHAT WE HAD TO DEAL WITH, NO,
AND I DON'T THINK ANY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR COMING INTO AN
INSTITUTION KNOWS FULLY THAT.
BUT IT HAS BEEN GOOD IN SOME RESPECTS BECAUSE IT HAS GIVEN
ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO RIGHT SIZE AND DO CERTAIN THINGS
WITH THE DEPARTMENT THAT WE CAN ADDRESS AND TAKE CARE OF
NOW LIKE THE AUDITS.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO FORWARD AND ADDRESS EVERY ITEM
IN THAT AUDIT AND WORKING ALONG WITH STATE AUDITORS,
WITH OUR OWN INTERNAL AUDITORS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN, AGAIN, TO PUT US IN A POSITION
TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
IT HAS GIVEN ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN
AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S GET THIS SHIP RIGHT.
>> YOU COME INTO A SITUATION THAT YOU INHERIT AND YOU
PRESCRIBE THE CORRECTIVE CHANGES SO WE CAN GENERALLY BE
HEALTHY.
>> THAT WAS THE EMPHASIS.
EMPHASIS WHEN WE STARTED THIS PROCESS WAS WE WANTED TO MAKE
SURE -- WE WERE LOOKING AT ALL OUR SPORTS, EVERY ONE OF THEM,
AND SAYING, HOW CAN WE DO BUSINESS DIFFERENTLY AND
BETTER?
CAN WE REDUCE COSTS?
THAT NARRATIVE CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS WITH
TITLE IX COMING ALONG BUT THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS,
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I ARTICULATED CONCERNS OR AT
LEAST HEAR WHAT EVERY GROUP -- WHAT SUPPORT GROUP FOR EACH
TEAM HAD, WHAT QUESTIONS THEY HAVE HAD, AND MAYBE I HAVEN'T
TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO, PURPOSEFULLY,
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO BE AVAILABLE
TO DECIDE BETWEEN.
AS I HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE FIRST AND
FOREMOST, OUR STUDENT ATHLETES, COACHES, ARE
RESPECTED BECAUSE I HAVE A REAL CONCERN TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY WERE TREATED WITH UTMOST RESPECT DURING THE PROCESS.
I DIDN'T WANT THINGS GETTING OUT TO THEM WE WERE DOING X, Y
AND Z WHEN THE REALITY IS I HADN'T GOTTEN TO THAT POINT
AND HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE EVERY OPPORTUNITY
POSSIBLE.
>> THE MOUNTAIN WEST AVERAGE IS 18 TEAMS.
UNM HAS 22.
THERE IS TALK OUT THERE, POSSIBLY, OF CUTTING SOME
TEAMS.
I UNDERSTAND THE POSITION YOU'RE IN WITH TITLE IX WHICH
WE ARE ABOUT TO GET TO PRETTY SOON, IT IS GOING TO BE
IMPOSSIBLE TO CUT A WOMEN'S PROGRAM.
YET, IT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO CUT THE MEN'S
PROGRAM.
IF A TEAM IS TO RECEIVE THE CHOPPING BLOCK, GET CUT, WHAT
WOULD THAT PROCESS LOOK LIKE AND HOW WOULD YOU GO TO THE
PUBLIC OUTREACH?
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE BEING UPSET WITH ANY PROGRAMS
BEING CUT.
THE NONCOMPETITIVE SPORTS, NON-FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL
SPORTS ARE THE MORE SUCCESSFUL ACADEMICALLY AND PERFORMANCE
WISE FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
>> AGAIN, THAT IS A VERY TOUGH DISCUSSION.
WHEN WE MOVED FORWARD WITH TITLE IX, THERES WAS MANY
DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT COULD BE PRESENTED, NOT JUST
CUTTING SPORTS OR ELIMINATING SPORTS.
I CHOOSE NOT TO REALLY USE THOSE WORDS BECAUSE AS A
FORMER STATE ATHLETE AND COACH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
IMPACT DOES TO THOSE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IF WE DECIDE TO GO
IN THIS DIRECTION.
AS WE HAVE DONE THIS PROCESS, WE HAVE LOOKED AT EVERY
SCENARIO POSSIBLE FROM ACCOMPLISHMENTS, ATHLETICALLY,
ACCOMPLISHMENTS ACADEMICALLY, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, FINANCIAL
BURDENS ON THE INSTITUTION, ALL THE DIFFERENT FACTORS YOU
CAN PUT ON THE TABLE, AND EVERY ONE HAS POSITIVE AND
NEGATIVES TO EACH ONE.
THE ONE THING I CAN TAKE FROM THE MAJORITY OF MY ASSESSMENT,
WE DO GREAT THINGS ATHLETICALLY AND ACADEMICALLY
EACH ONE OF OUR TEAMS HAS HAD ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN BOTH OF
THOSE AREAS AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER IN THEIR CAREERS.
THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS CHALLENGE SO DIFFICULT.
BECAUSE WHEN THE INSTITUTION MAKES A DECISION IF IT IS
THROUGH ROSTER MANAGEMENT, IF IT IS THROUGH REMOVAL OF
SCHOLARSHIPS, IF IT IS ELIMINATING SPORTS, THAT IS A
STRONG MESSAGE THAT WE ARE SENDING THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE
HAVE GOTTEN TO A POINT WE ARE HOUSING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
TEAMS MIGHT NOT BE WHAT IS THE BEST INTEREST FOR UNM.
WE UNDERSTAND THOSE AVERAGES, MOUNTAIN WEST IS 18, NATIONAL
AVERAGE IS 19, YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT OURSELVES AS FLAGSHIP
INSTITUTION.
WHAT ARE THE FLAGSHIP INSTITUTIONS DOING?
HOW ARE THEIR DEPARTMENTS DEVELOPING.
YOU LOOK AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, THEY HAVE 20 PROGRAMS.
200 MILLION MORE THAN WE DO IN BUDGET.
DO YOU LOOK AT -- SO THOSE ARE REAL FACTS, THOSE ARE REAL
INFORMATION.
WE MIGHT HAVE TOO MANY SPORTS BUT THAT IS PART OF THE
PROCESS OF MAKING SURE WE DO ALL THIS DUE DILIGENCE NOW
BEFORE WE HAVE TO COME TO THAT CONCLUSION.
THE PROCESS ULTIMATELY WILL BE GETTING INSIGHTS FROM THE
COACHES, LETTING THEM HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO ME, ME
ASKING CERTAIN QUESTIONS OF THEM, BUT, AS FAR AS KEEPING
THEM THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT
BECAUSE JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE HAVING A
CONVERSATION POTENTIALLY THAT ELIMINATING THE SPORT MIGHT BE
PART OF THAT END RESULT.
I HAVE TO BE RESPECTFUL FOR THEM, I HAVE TO RESPECT OUR
STUDENT ATHLETES AND RESPECT THEIR FAMILIES AND EVERY ONE
ELSE THAT IS INVOLVED.
MY APPROACH TO THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN, I AM GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING I CAN POSSIBLY DO TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITHOUT
CUTTING A SPORT.
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A DIFFICULT TASK.
I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
IN DOING RESEARCH, I LOOKED AT COACH BOB DAVIE'S CONTRACT.
IT SHOWS HE HAD A BEHAVIORAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ADHERE TO,
BUT NOT AN ACADEMIC ONE.
DO OTHER ATHLETIC HEAD COACHES HAVE SIMILAR CONTRACTS?
SIMILAR CLAUSES IN THEIR CONTRACT.
>> I CAN TELL YOU IS EVERY COACH IS DIFFERENT.
THOSE CONTRACTS WERE IN PLACE PRIOR TO ME.
I WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON OUR CONTRACTS.
WHAT THAT MEANS IS -- IT HAS ALREADY STARTED.
AGAIN LOOKING AT OUR PEERS.
EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTRY IS DOING THE CONTRACTS
DIFFERENTLY.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT CLAUSES.
WE HAVE TO WORK WITH OUR INSTITUTION, OUR LEGAL GROUP
TO FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE INSTITUTION, NOT JUST THE
LEGALITY SIDE OF CLAUSES BETWEEN ACADEMICS AND THIS, OR
MORE TURPITUDES OR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
THE REALITY IS WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT CAN WE DO,
WHAT IS AVAILABLE AT OUR STATE AND KEEP IN MIND THAT MYSELF,
AS DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS, WHAT AM I DOING TO MAKE SURE I PUT
OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT IN POSITION TO CONTINUE TO REMAIN
SUCCESSFUL, REMAIN RIGHT SIZE.
PART OF THE CONTRACT REVIEWS THAT WE ARE DOING IS LOOKING
AT THE LANGUAGE.
RIGHT NOW, AGAIN, I AM DEALING WITH CONTRACTS THAT WERE IN
PLACE AND A LOT OF IT IS JUST BECAUSE THAT IS HOW IT HAS
BEEN DONE FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
IT IS NOT A NEGATIVE.
IT IS NOT SHOT AT PREVIOUS TO ME.
THERE ARE MANY SCHOOLS DOING IT, BECAUSE IT IS SUCCESSFUL
AND IT WORKS AND YOU KEEP GOING.
>> I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION BUT WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER AND
BENEFICIAL IN PR SENSE, AND THINKING ABOUT THE PROGRAM IN
THE FUTURE, TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY DO COACHES COME TO DIRECT
STUDENT ATHLETES AND LEAD THEM, THAT IS WHAT WE CALL
THEM, STUDENT ATHLETES.
WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD NOT TO JUST TO LOOK OUT FOR THEIR
ATHLETIC SUCCESS BUT ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND MAKE THAT TIED
INTO THE CONTRACT?
>> AGAIN, I GO BACK AND MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE ARTICULATED
BETTER.
EVERY COACH IS BEING REVIEWED ON ACADEMIC PROGRESS IN THE
SPORT.
IF THERE IS ANY ITEMS, REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE
CONTRACT OR NOT, THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE ALWAYS,
EVERYDAY, ON TOP OF AND MAKING SURE EVERY STUDENT ATHLETE IS
ACHIEVING THE OPPORTUNITY SUCCESSFULLY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE PERCEIVE -- TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THAT CAN
BE DONE AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK AT TO SAY IF OUR
KIDS AREN'T ACHIEVING A CERTAIN AMOUNT, WE CAN HAVE
WHATEVER THAT ULTIMATE DECISION IS, BUT YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE OVER 3.2 GPA FOR ALL OUR STUDENT
ATHLETES.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT FOOTBALL AT A 2.5 AND YOU LOOK AT THE
NATIONAL, YOU COMPARE TO ONE OF OUR SPORTS AND A 3.2, IT IS
A LOT DIFFERENT.
YOU HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS WITH THAT.
>> YOU HAVE PRACTICES AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND PRACTICES
AND SOME OF THE DEMANDS.
YOU HAVE TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES.
>> DIFFERENT TIMES AND PRACTICES WITH SOME OF THE
DEMANDS, I UNDERSTAND.
>> YOU HAVE TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES BUT YOU CAN'T.
IN THE CONTRACT THAT YOU SIGN NEW COACHES WITH, WILL YOU
ENSURE THERE IS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ELEMENT IN THERE
THAT THE COACH MUST MEET IT.
>> I AM GOING TO LOOK AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE IT IS
IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR INSTITUTION.
THERE IS A LOT OF PIECES TO THE PUZZLE BUT THAT IS PART OF
IT.
THAT IS WORKING WITH THE LEGAL GROUP, MAKING SURE WE ARE ABLE
TO DO THE CHANGES THAT WE WOULD WANT TO MAKE BUT EVERY
COACH WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ACADEMICALLY.
I CAN ATTEST TO THAT JUST LIKE I AM HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR
OTHER THINGS.
ACADEMICALLY THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS IN HOW I
LOOK AT ALL THE COACHES AND THAT THEY ARE HELPING OUR
STUDENT ATHLETES GRADUATE AND ACHIEVE LIFE AFTER UNM.
YES, YOU WANT TO WIN AND YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE, BUT YOU
WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENT ATHLETES ARE READY TO HEAD OUT
IN THE REAL WORLD, WHATEVER THEY CHOOSE TO DO, AND WE PUT
THEM IN A POSITION THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THEY CAN ALWAYS
REPRESENT UNM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
>> TITLE IX WE MENTIONED IT BEFORE.
EVERYBODY IN TOWN IN THE STATE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR
A WHILE.
TITLE IX, WE UNDERSTAND THERE IS 100 MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
MEN THAN FOR WOMEN ATHLETES AT UNM.
NOW, IF THE SCHOOL DOES NOT GET IN COMPLIANCE, WHAT ARE
THE PENALTIES THAT THE SCHOOL CAN FACE.
>> TITLE 19 IS FEDERAL MANDATE.
IT IS NOT AN INSTITUTION RESPONSIBILITY.
IT IS MORE THAN JUST THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT FIGURING
OUT NUMBERS.
WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL STUDENT
ATHLETES, MALE OR FEMALE.
THERE IS CERTAIN INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE OPPOSITE US, WHERE
THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE MALES BECAUSE THEY ARE SO
FEMALE HEAVY WITH ENROLLMENT, NUMBERS IN PERSPECTIVE TO THE
INSTITUTION.
WE ARE IN A POSITION LIKE MANY, WHERE WE HAVE MORE
FEMALES AT OUR INSTITUTION WHERE WE NEED TO PROVIDE MORE
OPPORTUNITIES AT THE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT FOR OUR FEMALES.
THAT'S IN THE PAST AND RIGHT NOW WITH OUR REVIEW, OUR
FINDING WAS WE HAD 140 OR SO MORE PARTICIPANTS IN THE MALE
SIDE THAN IN THE FEMALE SIDE.
THERE IS DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN ATTAIN TITLE IX.
THROUGH ROSTER MANAGEMENT, PROPORTIONALITY.
THAT IS THE FIRST TEST WHERE YOU DO ROSTER MANAGEMENT, YOU
CAN REDUCE SCHOLARSHIPS AND DEAL DIRECTLY WITH ELIMINATING
SPORTS, MEN AND WOMEN BECAUSE IF YOU CANNOT SUPPORT YOUR
FEMALE TEAMS AT A CERTAIN LEVEL, YOU PICK IT UP AND PUT
IT AT THE LEVEL OF FUNDING THAT IS NECESSARY AS PER -- OR
YOU REDUCE THAT SPORT, SO IT CAN BE A FEMALE SPORT.
SO, THOSE ARE THE COMPLEXITIES THAT EXIST WITHIN TITLE IX.
THERE IS OTHER PRONGS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.
WE WOULDN'T MEET ANY OF THE OTHER PRONGS CURRENTLY.
COULD WE FIND A WAY, YEAH, BUT IT GOES BACK TO -- WE ARE
KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD BUT ULTIMATELY THOSE ARE THE
TWO PRONGS, ARE ADDING MORE FEMALE SPORTS, AND ALREADY WE
HAVE A NUMBER OF SPORTS, HIGH NUMBER.
SO, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS AND SAY WHAT ARE THE CONSIDERATION
POINTS.
WHAT ARE THE CONSIDERATION POINTS WHEN YOU HAVE 22 SPORTS
DO WE ADD ANOTHER FEMALE SPORT?
OUR BUDGET LINE IS SHOWING US WE CANNOT SUPPORT OUR STUDENT
ATHLETES AT THE LEVEL WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE SUPPORTED AT.
IF WE ARE NOT DOING OUR PART AS A UNIVERSITY TO GIVE THEM
THE SUPPORT THEY NEED AND OUR COACHES HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS
JOB DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENTIAL.
WE HAVE TO, AGAIN, LOOK AT OURSELVES AND SAY IS ADDING
MORE SPORTS, KEEPING 22 SPORTS, THAT IS PART OF THE
DISCUSSION THAT I AM HAVING INTERNALLY WITH MY STAFF
MEMBERS AND CONSULTANTS SAYING THIS IS MY CHALLENGE.
DO WE DO THIS?
IS IT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THIS INSTITUTION?
THAT IS PART OF THE DISCUSSION SO IT IS NOT AS EASY AS SAYING
I AM GOING TO FIND 145 PARTICIPANTS BECAUSE, YES, I
CAN REDUCE OUR MEN DOWN BUT I ALSO HAVE TO INFUSE -- ADD
MORE FEMALES WHICH RAISES THE COST.
>> DO YOU SEE THIS AS A POSSIBLE -- ALL THESE ISSUES
SEEM TO BE CONNECTED AND POSSIBLY WITH INCREASING
BOOSTER ACTIVITY, A PUBLIC OUTREACH MESSAGE TO INTRODUCE
OR ENHANCE FEMALE SPORTS.
>> THIS IS NOT SOLELY DRIVEN BY FINANCES.
AGAIN, THE QUESTION IS CAN WE JUST PUSH MORE MONEY IN IT?
THAT DOESN'T HELP BECAUSE WE HAVE A TWO MILLION DOLLAR HOLE
RIGHT NOW, A 1.2 MILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT.
PART OF THIS WILL HELP SUPPLEMENT SOME OF THAT BUT
THE REALITY IS EVEN IF I KEEP ALL SPORTS, THE FACT REMAINS,
I HAVE TO INFUSE THIS MONEY IN THIS HOLE AND WE HAVE TO GET
IT BACK JUST TO EVEN AND WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS,
WELL, WITH IS PART OF WHY I WANTED TO HAVE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOURSELF AND OTHERS, OUR
BUDGET HAS REMAINED, FOR THE MOST PART, AT A LEVEL FOR THE
LAST FIVE OR PLUS YEARS.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS INFLATION HAS CONTINUED TO GO UP AND
THINGS FROM TRAVEL, TO INSURANCES, AND EVERYTHING
ELSE.
AS EVERYTHING ELSE HAS INCREASED, OUR BUDGET HAS
REMAINED HERE.
THAT DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND
WHERE OUR BUDGETS ARE, OUR COACHES HAVE FUND RAISED FOR
THAT DIFFERENTIAL.
SO, WHEN WE SAY HOW ARE WE SUPPORTING OUR KIDS JUST TO
SAY TO KEEP EVERYTHING AT STATUS QUO IS A CHALLENGE.
IS IT POSSIBLE?
SURE, BUT IT BETTER BE RECURRING MONEY, BECAUSE IF IT
IS JUST MORE TIME, WE'LL BE BACK IN A YEAR FROM NOW.
THAT'S WHAT WE CANNOT DO.
WE CANNOT PUT OUR INSTITUTION, OUR FANS AND EVERYBODY ELSE IN
A POSITION WHERE WE SAY, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE THIS CANVAS
FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO.
IT IS IMPERATIVE WE DO DUE DILIGENCE NOW AND WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN?
WELL, THIS IS A FEDERAL MANDATE.
THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENS, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PLAN THAT
ADDRESSES YOUR ISSUES, THE POTENTIAL IS YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHT IN HERE.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS INSTITUTIONS THAT I KNOW
FIRSTHAND, I HAVE HAD OCR COME IN, OFFICE OF HIS CIVIL
RIGHTS, COME INTO THEIR INSTITUTION AND DO A
COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW AND THAT AGAIN GOES BACK TO ARE WE
DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE NOW INSTEAD OF ALLOWING A FEDERAL
GROUP TO COME IN AND SAY, OKAY, NOW YOU HAVE DO IT A
CERTAIN WAY. >> AND IDENTIFY PROBLEMS --
>> POSSIBLY COULD DO EVEN MORE IN THE LONG RUN.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME AND BRIEFLY, I AM GOING TO LET
YOU KNOW, GREAT CONVERSATION.
FIVE YEARS, WHERE IS UNM'S ATHLETIC PROGRAM?
>> IF I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FROM ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TO LEAD
UNM UNTIL THOSE NEXT FIVE YEARS, MY HOPE IS THAT WE HAVE
DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PUT OURSELVES IN A POSITION WHERE
WE HAVE MANAGED THIS AND WE HAVE SHOWCASED OUR OPPORTUNITY
TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH BUT WE HAVE
ALSO PUT OUR STUDENT ATHLETES IN A POSITION AND WHATEVER
SPORTS WE HAVE, IF IT MEANS WE HAVE 22, OR 24, THAT THOSE
SPORTS ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TO BE SUCCESSFUL, EVERY
CHANCE TO NOT JUST PARTICIPANTS.
I DON'T PARTICIPANTS AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF OUR FANS
WANT TO BE PARTICIPANTS.
WE WANT A CHANCE TO BE SUCCESSFUL, WE WANT TO BE ABLE
TO CHANGE THIS, BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT IN THE MINDSET THAT WE
ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT.
WE ARE REPRESENTING THIS INSTITUTION AND THIS WONDERFUL
STATE THAT I AM PRIVILEGED TO BE A PART OF.
IF WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THOSE GOALS, UNM WILL BE IN A
POSITION TO TRULY BE SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUTURE.
