Joe Fields talks degrees and first year at NMSU

Joe Fields, in his first year as athletic director at New Mexico State University, says his most important job is helping college athletes earn their degrees. Fields shared his view in a recent sit-down with KRQE Sports Director Van Tate, who spotlighted the new athletic director’s first year on the job.

“If you ask Joe Fields what his most important job as New Mexico State University Athletic Director is, he will tell you that it’s getting college athletes their degrees,” according to the segment.

The conversation aired this week on Tate’s Sports Office, a KRQE feature that profiles athletes, coaches and figures with ties to New Mexico.
