of hazing allegations within the team that shut down the program for the rest of the season.
Arvizu shut down the program for the season on Sunday after reviewing a campus police report in which an Aggies player said three teammates ganged up on him and attacked him. The report, which redacted the names of the players, included allegations of false imprisonment, harassment and criminal sexual contact.
It started unraveling when some basketball players were involved in a fight with New Mexico students at an Aggies football game in October. The hazing allegations came less than three months after the shooting in Albuquerque. The police report says the hazing victim described teammates removing"his clothing exposing his buttocks and began to slap his . He also went on to state that they also touched his scrotum."
But there have also been problems checkered throughout the history of a program that has long depended on juco transfers and players looking for second chances. An academic scandal in the 1990s brought about the quick end to the otherwise successful tenure of coach Neil McCarthy. It led to relative stability during the second of two long tenures in Las Cruces by coaching stalwart Lou Henson.
