Coastal Carolina's record-breaking campaign in men's basketball was nearly wiped away this spring.
During a discussion of a new student-athlete class attendance policy in a board of trustees athletics committee meeting on Thursday, Executive Vice President Eddie Dyer said that the program was close to forfeiting games because one of its athletes failed to attend class this semester.
Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek said after the meeting there was a significant risk of forfeitures when it was discovered the athlete, whom he did not name, was skipping class. Due to federal financial aid regulations, the player was eventually dropped from the class and fell below the full-time student threshold, making him ineligible to compete.
