Editor,
UNM should do everything it can to keep Bob Davie, the head football coach, when his contract is up. The football team has already won more games than in the past three years combined. Football can bring in a lot of money for UNM because the capacity of University Stadium is around 40,000, which is twice the capacity of The Pit.
A good football team puts UNM into the national spotlight with games on television, possible bowl-game appearances and sportscasters nationwide talking about UNM football. This might help UNM by having more high school seniors across the country take a look at UNM as a possible college.
Bottom line: Having a good football team is good for the University of New Mexico.
