After watching Extreme Makeover last Sunday, I had to wonder if the Shaq is really working on a Ph.D. Seemed strange, but indeed he is: from Barry University, in Human Resource Development.
Shaquille O'Neal, Ph.D.
Barry University: Organizational Learning and Leadership
Given the general lack of scholastic aptitude in the NBA (sorry, but that's absolutely the way it is), Shaq's dedication to education is remarkable -- and a good example for other athletes to follow. Especially the ones in college with a chance at a pro sports career. [Most NCAA athletes do graduate and go on to other productive careers; only a very select few play pro sports, of course.]
