J.R. Smith Is Going To North Carolina A&M To Get A Degree…While Being On The Golf Team

David Richard-USA TODAY Sports

NBA guard J.R. Smith has enrolled at North Carolina A&T in hopes of making it on the golf team. 35-year-old Smith, who skipped college ball for the NBA Draft in 2004, is taking full advantage of his newly acquired free time by becoming a student...

quote:
"Golf is one of those games that can have you feeling really high or it can bring you down to your knees and humble you," Smith told WFMY.

"To have that feeling and knowing that all of the game is pretty much on my own hands and I don’t have to worry about teammates to pass the ball to, receiving passes and playing defense -- I can just play my game and have fun."

Ok liberal studies grads, help me out. What exactly are you studying? Just trying to understand so I can evaluate objectively if A&T is truly one of the best liberal studies universities in the nation. Dude going out for the golf team is pretty awesome honestly.

Well that particular discipline doesn’t focus or drill down to a specific area of study. You are free to take classes that interest you, but in order to receive a degree you still have to take the basic core requirements and meet the additional credit requirements. So since he’s essential retired from his career and I’m assuming is finically set he doesn’t have to go back to school to major in anything particular.
