Rondo: Retired players can return to college and get reimbursement of US$20,000 a year. I want to get a degree.

Today, former Green Army star Rondo talked about NBA players returning to college after retiring in the podcast "All The Smoke".

"After retiring, I had a lot of free time. For example, after sending my children to school, I had five to six hours a day doing nothing. So not long after I retired, I decided to go to university to study and be with young students. I have a friend who is a teacher at the university, and he also helped me a lot. This is great for me and my family. In addition, there is a policy in the NBA that allows retired players to return to college for a certain period of time and receive a reimbursement of US$20,000 per year. Of course, the premise is that we need to maintain a certain GPA. For me, there is an additional motivation to get a degree before my daughter and other children graduate." Rondo said.
