UNM 125: Athletic housecleaning continues

July 18

Printed January 14, 1980 On Sept. 25, 1979, the National Collegiate Athletic Association filed 57 allegations of rules violations against the UNM men’s basketball program. Less than three months later, enough information had been revealed through local, state and federal investigations to lead the UNM Athletic Council to unanimously recommend the resignation of basketball coach Norm Ellenberger. Since that time, the public has been rocked and shocked by daily revelations of player ineligibility, wire tappings, illegal recruiting tactics, questionable bank loans to athletes, and several in-house investigations. The UNM athletic scandal has reached the pages of Sports Illustrated, Time and Newsweek.
