Jerome Bettis fulfilled one of post-football goals on Thursday. The all-time graduated graduated with his degree from the Mendoza School of Business. 

Bettis’ college education was 28 years in the making. 

“A promise made, a promise kept. 28 years after leaving @NotreDame, I’ve completed my degree from the Mendoza School of Business,” he said on Twitter. “I hope my journey serves as reminder that education is the true equalizer in life and it is never too late to start.”

This is pretty remarkable. Few players go back and get their degrees.

Fans have been congratulating “The Bus” all day.

“Way to go. Everyone’s path is different (you were kind of busy). You made it and are an example to many. Congratulations. Well deserved.”
