Justin Venable, a frequently injured lineman in the mighty Sun Belt Conference, may be the first college football athlete to ever receive eight years of eligibility, according to USA Today. "Venable, who got his degree in general studies, is starting graduate school this fall, studying for an MBA. He says he even might try for a doctorate before his football career is up."

Heck if I was getting a free education in exchange of getting massages and sitting in a hot tub everyday, I'd probably stick around to pick up a PhD, JD, MD, etc.
