Rodeo Team Members Brawl. But Hey! We Won

October 3, 2007 RSS Feed Print

A scuffle between two members of the New Mexico State University rodeo team led to their ejection from a competition and a suspension, the Round Up reports. While the dispute may have involved a stabbing and could lead to academic suspension, scholarship reduction, or termination from the team, there is good news to report: "Despite the altercation between two of its athletes, the NMSU rodeo team had a very successful outing. 'Little picture, two of our athletes got in a fight. Big picture, our team did really well,' said [the coach]. The men's team took first overall in the event and the women's team took second overall."
