Manhattan places Steve Masiello on leave while he reviews his degree status with Kentucky.

It appears Steve Masiello’s play here is going to be that he genuinely thought he had a degree and therefore didn’t knowingly lie.

How can someone think they have a degree when they do not?

I guess he never officially quit the old job. Smart.

So, he received a diploma but didn't actually graduate? Strange.

Kind of like spending the whole day thinking its Thursday, and finding out its really Wednesday. Right? Pretty much the same thing.

Some institutions will not release documents that proves graduation unless every cent owed is paid. A local school has that policy. It could be something along those lines.

The problem for him is not so much that he lied but that it is required by law in the state of Florida that a coach at the college level has a college degree. HS coaches in Fl only need to be certified. This came up just a few weeks ago with the hire of Ice Harris at Miami.

You can get a college degree part-time and online in your own time in a couple of years nowadays. With the money these coaches make there is 0 excuse, besides laziness.

At some schools, SU is one, you have to apply to receive your degree- it isn't awarded automatically. Degrees are also held up if you owe the school any sort of money...so it is possible for someone to think they've graduated while the school would say they haven't.
