Budget woes softened by snack donations at NMSU
Budget woes softened by snack donations at NMSU

Quote:In a twist on Little League moms lining up after-game treats, New Mexico State's budget-conscious football staff distributed an e-mail this week asking fans to donate after-practice or late-night snacks for hungry players.

It's a consequence of the national economy, of course.

"It's a decision we had to make with regard to our meals," first-year coach DeWayne Walker said Thursday. "There are a lot of other areas where we have to make tough choices with how we're going to spend our money."

Don't laugh, but could this possibly violate one of the screwy NCAA regulations ?

Sounds like a donation to the program. Not buying a meal for a specific athlete.

Maybe they could feed 'em some of those flame-roasted chile peppers that Las Cruces is famous for. They have field upon field of peppers, can't miss them.

Yeah, the 'bush league' comment made me laugh. The NMSU fans need to stop trying to paint the move as something other than it is. It is a way to save money due to a budget cut not an effort by the fans to give love to the athletes. It could happen to any of us; it is what it is . . . 05-nono
