Findings of an investigation released Monday by the Big West Conference office confirm previous reports that New Mexico State did not determine the origin of an anti-Semitic epithet or confirm that several alleged incidents of racism were directed at Long Beach State Jan. 22 in Las Cruces, N.M.

Conference Commissioner Dennis Farrell acknowledged the four-day investigation by New Mexico State officials. The report includes a plan for improved security around the visitors’ locker room at the Pan American Center.

Farrell also criticized Long Beach State Coach Seth Greenberg for his postgame verbal attacks directed at New Mexico State and its fans. Greenberg, who is Jewish, was named in the epithet and claims his African American players were the object of repeated racial slurs by spectators. The report does not corroborate Greenberg’s charges.
