Alumni who don't really look back

Some.....Most alumni like Shaq, Shaun Alexander, Peyton Manning, Charles Barkley, Bubba Watson..... really most everyone who goes on to success will come back every now and then or tweet #GoTeam stuff on game day... or at the least identify themselves as fans.
But some, be it for only staying one year, leaving on a sour note or a professional conflict, don't seem to care much about their alma maters, never show up for reunions or really mention their school unless directly asked (and are visibly turned off). Who is Eddie Murphy to your school's SNL.
Note: While not restricted to athletes.... criminals or disgraced politicians don't count, we frankly wish they'd never mention us again.

Are you referring specifically to Cam Newton?

Justin Smith of the 49ers has 0 attachment to Mizzou. He chose to leave early because we fired Larry Smith

Cam Newton never comes back to any of our reunions.

? not at all. Cam mentions Auburn a lot and has been back multiple times for football and basketball games. A proud Tiger alumni....
NOW THAT HIS CHECKS HAVE CLEARED!!!

It's kind of hard to get overly attached to an University when you're only there for 1 year, and on a contractual basis at that.

Since he did attend Auburn, he generously agreed to discount his appearance fee.

Timothy Leary.

Cam is the complete opposite of this thread FWIW

Will Mike Shula ever feel comfortable coming back to Alabama?
Serious question, who is the better OC prospect: Shula or Kiffin? Last season for Shula was at least as good as anything I've seen from Kiffin.

Someone who keeps going but never graduates? That's the opposite of this thread

No one. You can't turn your back on family.

Of all the guys Cal has had thus far, the only one that doesn't at least throw out the occasional #GoTeam stuff is probably Daniel Orton. He didn't particularly like Demarcus Cousins getting more PT than him.

For Alabama I'd submit
NBA All-Star Gerald Wallace. One year at Bama and never really cares at all.

He's pissed he had to waste that year at Bama in the first place.
