ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- With a multi-facility naming rights agreement on the table, the athletics administration at The University of New Mexico has approached and formally asked WisePies Pizza & Salad to relinquish the current naming rights agreement for WisePies Arena, pending the fruition of a new agreement. The recommendation by athletics is pending approval from the Board of Regents.
That new agreement will allow for multiple facilities to be named under one umbrella. It is anticipated that the new agreement will be announced in the near future.
"I want to thank Steve Chavez and WisePies Pizza & Salad for stepping up in 2014 and showing the state of New Mexico that naming athletic facilities is a viable and valuable asset for businesses in our community," said vice president for athletics Paul Krebs.
