The University of New Mexico Board of Regents voted not to hear the appeal of head football coach Bob Davie and it was announced on Thursday that the suspension of the coach would soon commence.
Interim President Chaouki Abdallah announced that Davie's suspension would officially begin Saturday, Feb. 17 and will continue for a period of 30 consecutive days, without pay.
News of the suspension might have been a surprise to some people — perhaps even Davie. The head coach seemed to think his suspension would not interfere with spring practice, which got underway last Friday.
Following one of last week's football practices, Davie said he hadn't been given any additional details following the decision by the Board of Regents not to hear his appeal.
