Much can be said about the timing of University of New Mexico Athletics’ announcement on Thursday that construction is coming soon for a new state-of-the-art performance center for all 18 Lobo programs, a project that New Mexico Mutual spearheaded with a $1 million lead gift.
UNM Athletics believes it has built some momentum along with the revelation of the New Mexico Mutual Champions Training Center, an estimated 15,000 square-foot facility that will be located inside University Stadium beyond the south end zone.
UNM hired a new basketball coach, Richard Pitino, the women’s basketball team won the Mountain West Conference regular-season title at the Pit, and the Lobo football team added a high-profile transfer quarterback, Terry Wilson, on Tuesday as some of the recent highlights.
