He could have went to a state college or university system instead of the for-profit University of Phoenix.

Shaq is great but he chose an online for profit school with accreditation concerns and then paid them more money so it wasn't online.

Yup. Essentially a degree mill

He paid to not have to deal with the general public interrupting his academic learning time.

I used to like Shaq, but he's been involved in promoting a lot of seriously sketchy stuff. He will put his name on literally anything if they pay him enough. Few celebrities put their name on more stupid scummy crypto bullshit. He lost my respect with that. I bet he had a financial relationship with Univ of Phoenix
