"We have high academic standards for our student-athletes and I expect all of our players to meet those standards. I'm disappointed that Rayner fell short but he has the full support of our program and I know he will learn from this. We expect him to focus all his efforts on his classwork in the spring," said Head Coach Tommy Dempsey
