    I was under the impression that he didn't finish school and that the government there focused all his time to basketball training during his youth.

    Yao should drop college and become an actor. He'd make a good villain.

    Quasi-related side-note: My grandfather taught Akeem's freshman English class.

    He should get a degree in biomechanics, built himself a new body.

    In all seriousness, good for Yao. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    I'll bet Calipari is having a grad assistant look into how they'd get around NCAA rules to get Yao to play for Kentucky right now.

    I wonder what his application process was?

    Yao: I wish to study here. What do I...
    Admissions: When can you start?

    But good for Yao. Studying econ should help him manage his money and businesses.
