Abstract: Answering a question of Gowers, Tao proved that any $AimesBimesCsubsetS{L}_d(mathbb{F}_q{)}^3$ contains $|A||B||C|/|S{L}_d(mathbb{F}_q)|+O_d(|S{L}_d(mathbb{F}_q){|}^2/q^{min(d-1,2)/8})$ three-term progressions $(x,xy,x{y}^2)$. Using a modification of Tao's argument, we prove such a mixing result for three-term progressions in all nonabelian finite simple groups except for $PS{L}_2(mathbb{F}_q)$ with an error term that depends on the degree of quasirandomness of the group. This argument also gives an alternative proof of Tao's result when $d>2$, but with the error term $O(|S{L}_d(mathbb{F}_q){|}^2/q^{(d-1)/24})$.
