On November 19, when the Aggies were in Albuquerque to play rival New Mexico, junior forward Mike Peake allegedly shot dead New Mexico student Brandon Travis. Of course, the game was cancelled.

Here are some more details on that incident, courtesy of USA Today.

Since then, New Mexico State has struggled. They’re 9-15 and just 2-10 in the WAC.

And, late Friday night, disturbing news came out about the program.

And, Jeff Goodman added context on the suspension.

Many were speculating it had something to do with the murder back in November, but it appears not. Still, hard to see them returning to play this year, and head coach Greg Heiar seems likely to lose his job.
