1969: Eastern New Mexico University football coach Howard White had resigned, saying he was displeased with the school’s financial commitment to the program.
White, whose teams were 10-18-1 in his three seasons, said the programs needed more money to operate if they were expected to be successful.
He also complained about fan support, claiming the Greyhounds’ home games should have been drawing 65,000 each game.
White came to ENMU in 1967 from a junior college in California.
