PROVO, Utah — The defending NCAA women's basketball champions have opted out of playing against Brigham Young University this upcoming season after a recent incident where a fan directed a racial slur toward a Black volleyball player from Duke during a game at BYU.
“As a head coach, my job is to do what’s best for my players and staff,” South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said in a news release. “The incident at BYU has led me to reevaluate our home-and-home, and I don’t feel that this is the right time for us to engage in this series.”
