- Share via
SAN JOSE — New Mexico State officials said they expect to complete their investigation today into the origin of an anti-Semitic epithet and several alleged incidents of racism that were apparently directed at Long Beach State on Monday night in Las Cruces, N.M., and will forward their results to the Big West Conference for review.
“We’ve been asked to file a detailed report on the investigation and on our security measures to prevent this from happening again,” said Steve Shutt, New Mexico State assistant athletic director for media relations. “We are trying to move toward closure.”
Long Beach State Coach Seth Greenberg is eager to move on as well.
“All along, all I’ve wanted [New Mexico State] to do is what their conscience tells them is the right thing to do,” Greenberg said. “I want to use this as a lesson for the [players], but the bottom line is we have to go on from here. We still have games to win.”
