Manhattan coach Steve Masiello has completed the requirements for his undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky, a spokesman for the SEC school said Thursday.
Kentucky's Jay Blanton told ESPN.com that Masiello has completed his coursework and will be awarded a degree in August.
Masiello has been on unpaid leave from Manhattan since April -- shortly after it was discovered that he had not earned his degree from Kentucky. Masiello had accepted the South Florida job, but a background check turned up that he hadn't finished the requirements to earn his degree.
Manhattan has said it would reinstate Masiello once he completed his degree
