Coastal Carolina’s football players tackle voting as a team
Coastal Carolina players voted en masse Tuesday when the team boarded a bus to a polling station in Conway.
The players boarded buses at 9:45 a.m. for Christ Community Church in Conway, where they voted.
CCU Associate Athletics Director Mike Cawood said the entire team, all 115 players, boarded two buses and headed over to the polling site.

Cawood said even the 20 to 30 players who absentee voted still attended to show their support.
He said this was the idea of head coach Joe Moglia, who takes 30 minutes of practice time every Thursday to talk about “life after football” issues.
