"This action is clearly needed, especially after receiving additional facts and reviewing investigation reports related to the hazing allegations involving student-athletes on the team," Arvizu said in a statement on Sunday, adding that it's "time for this program to reset." Arvizu said the players and coaching staff were called back to the school in Las Cruces and interviewed by university personnel specially trained to conduct investigations into hazing incidents.
"Sadly, hazing can become part of an organization's culture left unchecked," Arvizu said. "NMSU policy strictly prohibits hazing, in all forms, and it's something we simply will not tolerate."
