UNM names Livon McDonald athletic director amid turmoil

President Ferrell Heady designates Livon McDonald as UNM athletic director replacing Pete McDavid. Regents approve amid clashes with the athletic council over leadership and direction, with McDonald proposing a 40,000 seat stadium, expanded football program, and VIP press facilities to bolster UNM sports. He vows to recruit within state, raise ticket prices selectively, and explore renting the APS stadium for football games to cut costs.
