After 11 years as the athletic director of UNM, Paul Krebs has officially announced his retirement effective June 30.
The announcement came amid controversy revolving around the efficacy of the athletic department — investigations into the athletic department spending by Attorney General Hector Balderas and State Auditor Tim Keller. It also follows a seemingly unpopular decision among the University and community that cut the UNM ski program, though it has since been reinstated.,
Despite the timing of the decision, Krebs maintains he is “not running from anything”.
He points out that he has spoken to University leadership with the request to retire several times over the last nine months.
