Thought this was pretty cool. Drake dropped out of high school to pursue his acting career. 10 years later at 25 he has gone back to graduate and actually credited Cal and Co. for inspiring him to do so.

quote:

Drake credits UK with inspiring him to go back to school. "Kentucky has given me a real home," Drake told cn|2 in September. "I actually dropped out of high school, which I don't know if a lot of people know that. But I dropped out of high school. I never got like a great school experience, and when Coach Cal asked me to come here for the first Midnight Madness it just really gave me a sense of school, a sense of love, a sense of belonging to something. So that's why I feel like I belong to the UK family, and that's why I'm graduating from high school this month. So, I'm actually inspired by UK, inspired by these boys right here."
