Aikman getting college degree 20 years later

By The Associated Press
DALLAS -- Troy Aikman's passing days didn't end when he retired from the Dallas Cowboys. <br /> <br /> The Hall of Fame quarterback says he's passed his two final college courses and will graduate in June from UCLA 20 years after he left for the NFL. <br /> <br /> The Dallas Morning News reported Tuesday that Aikman is getting a bachelor's degree in sociology and will participate in UCLA's graduation ceremonies. <br /> <br /> The 42-year-old Fox Sports broadcaster says he's ``finally taking care of unfinished business.'' <br /> <br /> Aikman says he promised his mother, when he left school just two courses shy of a degree, that he would return and finish. <br /> <br /> Aikman's final two courses included a class on race and ethnicity, and another on aging. <br /> <br /> He earned an ``A'' for both.
