Mario Moccia replaced McKinley Boston as the New Mexico State athletics director on Jan. 5, taking over an athletic department short on revenue, unstable in conference affiliation across the board yet remarkably successful on the field of play.
Moccia sat down with the Las Cruces Sun-News to take a broad look back on his first year atop the athletic department at his alma mater and what he believes lies ahead. Here are excerpts:
LCSN: What would you consider your biggest victory or biggest accomplishment in the first year?
Moccia: From talking to some people, I sense maybe there is some enthusiasm surrounding the athletic department as a whole.
