University of LeBron James?!?!?
I see that UAkron is renaming its college of education after LeBron James.

Quote:The University of Akron is renaming its teaching school the LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education.

As long as their at it, maybe he can fund their discontinued baseball program, pay down the stadium debt and pay for kids to go to college (Opps, his already doing that). Whether you like the guy or not, he's doing remarkable things for his hometown.

I still say if it weren't for how he handled the move to miami, he'd be the most liked player in the NBA

Yeah, pretty funny that they named the College of Education after a guy who doesn't have an education.

Maybe I'm just buying into the media hype or am just a casual NBA fan if that, but I cheer for him.

Seriously, he's probably conflicted about it. So much basketball talent, foolish to not cash in right away on that, and millions $ flooding in. He can hire the educated as needed.

Still, I think he feels the loss. Never got the college experience. But he respects it and gives the money to make it happen for others. I am glad he sees the value in doing that.

Good points.

I'm also pleased to see him giving to a MAC school. Would not have been surprised to see him contribute to the SOBs at Ohio State.
