New Mexico Admits Fault In Locksley Probe

((HT: KRQE-TV))

UNM President David Schmidly and Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs conceded the university bungled the probe into whether football Head Coach Mike Locksley punched out receivers coach J.B. Gerald.

However both Schmidly and Krebs denied any intent to cover up whatever happened when a Sept. 20 coaches meeting turned physical. And while Schmidly said mistake after mistake was made, no one will be punished for not following policies.

Still no one will be punished.

"The last time I looked, we don't have a flogging pole on this campus," Schmidly said. "We tried to treat people fairly and with respect."

Schmidly said he's embarrassed and upset about what happened but still stands by Krebs. And he hopes this is the end of it.

"Looking you in the face and in the eye right now, I believe it's all out there," Schmidly said. "But I'm learning to never say never."
