Wright State canceled their men’s tennis spring season due to a lack of eligible players after allegations that nine of 11 individuals on the roster had violated the student code of conduct.
The men’s team lost two matches on Jan. 17 and 18 to Dayton and Michigan State while only winning one set against Dayton. Their season was canceled on Jan. 19 after the allegations were made.
Although no details have been confirmed by Wright State, rumors and speculations have spread that players may have been involved in hazing activities. The student conduct code governs issues that deal with hazing, sexual harassment, plagiarism and more and individuals who violate the code are typically given a warning of expulsion.
Eric Burns became the head coach of the men’s and women’s tennis programs at WSU in July, 2015 and has coached the women to a 17-7 record with a 4-3 record in the Horizon League.
On the Wright State website, the men’s tennis roster has been removed, though the program is anticipated to be brought back in the Fall.
