PrintIt took a little while but Troy Polamalu finally collected his diploma....
On Saturday, Polamalu issued this statement (photo courtesy of Polamalu’s website, Troy43.com...and notice that all of his hair somehow seems to be tucked under his cap…!!??)
I'm thrilled to announce that on this cool, sunny Friday morning I donned a cap and gown, walked across the stage in the beautiful Alumni Park at University of Southern California, and was handed my diploma. I'm officially a USC graduate! While I feel excited and fulfilled, that's not really what I want to focus on in this message — I want to talk about the reason behind my decision to go back and finish what I started.
Better late than never.
Finishing one's degree sends a very strong message.
Congrats Troy!!
FIGHT ON!

It is great that he did it ......
But he also said more than completing what he started……
“So I decided to finish what I started and walked that stage today not only because it was very important to me personally, but because I want to emphasize the importance of education, and that nothing should supersede it.”
Also the ‘student of a year at 3 levels of schooling’….. very cool.
