NMSU Basketball -- suspended
- Thread starter Hot For Keitha
- Start date
I don't doubt and NMSU needs to clean house quickly. I'd rather not get ahead of ourselves though.
Absolute shit show up there in LC. Everyone from Haier down needs to go. More is going to come out indicating that some or all of the coaching staff knew and did nothing. "Boys being boys" they'll say. The school president is right saying that they need a complete reset on their men's basketball program. Best wishes for the young man who was assaulted.
Chris Jans would not have ever allowed any of this to occur

And there is a world where we would have hired Jans' successor James Miller who both Rice and Allen said they would sick around with and a potentially ranked Aggie team...
According to our AD Miller was a top candidate from the beginning. My assumption was that he had the strike against him when Jans was out with COVID and he had to coach the NMSU UNM game in Cruces and the result was a loss for the Aggies. You compare a solid associate head coach with a rivalry loss to a NJCAA Champion coach with a 90%+ win rate and you can see how it would go. Rice was a senior same with Allen so we figured they would leave. Most of the Aggie fanbase was for GH and we'd thought it would be similar to a Jans sort of takeover with wins galore. Well we got a rude awakening. Now we'd be lucky if Miller gives us the time of day assuming everyone gets fired.
Jans and GH came from the same coaching tree and that's what GH hyped up in his interview. He said he was a players coach and can recruit. He proved that by getting NMSU the highest rated player in recent history ( we will see if that stands since Jans at Mississippi was also after him). We took a chance with a winning coach with no D1 experience and this is where we are: the worst scandal in NMSU basketball history to my knowledge.
Roy would potentially be looking at some hard time if it was him since that would be a huge probation violation. Since he's mentioned as being clear in this case I wonder if he'll stick around. I don't imagine too many programs would want a player who can't leave the state
He was at a bar after the season and smacked a girl's ass. That's what got him fired and apparently he learned his lesson cuz if this happened under him with that incident the pitch forks and meth would have been prevalent in the tar and feathering that day.
If the alleged crimes are proven true or plead out, not intervening is a potential crime, is it not? Parents/adults in child or elderly abuse cases, deadly car wrecks and teachers aware of students being abused at home can be charged if they do nothing.
When I think "hazing" I think of freshmen carrying equipment or bringing food to seniors. Hey, even fraternity hazing with tequila shots or being forced to do something embarrassing in front of sororities...
This all sounds like certain genre of bad movie.
I don't know if THIS kind of hazing is a regular thing, but it'd be naive to think hazing only happens at NMSU. They're just the ones who got turned in for it.

I think this form of hazing is becoming more and more prevalent.
The reason I made a joke about broomsticks and Vaseline is because the last case of hazing I heard about was in a small town not far from where I live and it involved…
So when I read hazing on the forum, it was the first thing I thought of. These instances that involve sexual contact are BEYOND hazing.

I sometimes wonder what is going on at NMSU in general. Again, I'm not oblivious to hazing going on everywhere but looking back...I think this form of hazing is becoming more and more prevalent.

La Vernia Hazing Scandal: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
Nine students are under arrest in a La Vernia High School hazing scandal in Texas. The allegations include sexual assault.
1. a 14 year old girl gets shot and killed at a party hosted by NMSU football players
2. A Kappa Sigma initiate gets shot in the leg during some kind of initiation ceremony
3. An all out brawl at a football game involving basketball players
4. An armed basketball player sneaks out of his room and later winds up killing a student. The team attempts a cover up
5. The NMSU basketball season gets suspended after a hazing report including spanking a naked player and "touching" him sexually (?!?)
How many basketball seasons has UTEP canceled due to hazing incidents in the same season as a player shooting and killing a person?
The stories I have heard coming out of NMSU Athletics and frat life the past 20 years have been cringy but I took them as isolated incidents. I get the rivalry culture between schools (traditional Land Grant Colleges vs. big city universities) but somewhere and somehow the regents and current and past presidents lost control in LC.
NMSU does do good things for their students. They have gotten southern NM farm & ranchers to pony up big bucks for scholarships over the years, as one example.

Can't wait for the E60 or 30 for 30 on this. I hate losing to NMSU, but don't want the program to go away.
Might be a second hazing victim:

Has society always been so depraved and more people are just talking about it more, or is it getting worse?
I think NMSU will follow this thru, fire the staff and hit the reset button as far as the program is concerned. I just can't see Heiar surviving this? A college can chew gum and walk at the same time by following the facts and correct the culture and at the the same time get a seasoned by the book but realistic based interim and cobble a team together for your new conference debut come late fall.
The million dollar question is if Moccia survives this? Evidence was hidden and calls were made in other separate incident and so NMSU told Heiar and staff to hot foot it back to LC when there are reports Aggies bball staff were asked for them to stay for questions. Good decisions have not, and as of last week, not being made at NMSU. Paid leave is a legit option for Moccia by the president/regents if they pursue it.
