Highs, Lows, & Leadership Changes For Lobo Athletics

From an impressive turn-around to losing its head football coach, and now legal challenges amid the basketball team - there have been significant highs and lows for the University of New Mexico's Lobo Athletic Department over the last few months. This week Chris and Gabby sit down with KRQE Sports gurus Van Tate and Jared Chester to drill into the season of Lobo sports. How will the new Athletic Director, Fernando Lovo, fare under the circumstances? What's next for Lobo football under a new head coach? And what do the basketball team and its fans make of the lawsuit filed against its head coach? 

Also discussed, are the impacts of the NIL on college athletics. Van and Jared also share their perspective of covering the Lobos, and how these dynamics have impacted the team turnarounds.
