Steve Alford and New Mexico have agreed upon a 10-year contract that will keep him with the school through 2023.

“We want him to be here at the University of New Mexico a long time,” said UNM Athletics Director Paul Krebs. “Steve’s done a tremendous job — not only in wins and losses, but in graduation rate, presence in community the good will. Look at all the national publicity about the program we’ve been receiving and he’s been a very good representative of this university in this time.”
