Editor,
Mike Locksley should be president of the University of New Mexico.
People who hit other people win respect. If Locksley were president, he could attend alumni dinners and sock a few of our distinguished alumni. He could shake them down for the big bucks that they will contribute to the Athletics Department, and more specifically to the football program, and more specifically to Locksley himself. That’s because he will have to live on the president’s salary, which is pretty slim pickings after all the dough he has raked in as our losing football coach.
When all of you out there send your checks to the football program, remember to mark them “For Mike Locksley.” Remember as well the reason the University of New Mexico exists: to support the football program. All those academic programs that just make you sleep in class are a cover for the real mission — losing football games and getting as many bigwigs as possible to send in their money to UNM, so we can go on losing football games.
