Jordan attended Rutgers and played on its basketball team back in the ’70s, and stirred up some controversy when he was hired as head coach once it was revealed that he had never received his degree. Sure enough, he started taking classes and completed the requirements for it, although it was a bit tough since Rutgers no longer offers his original major of Health and Physical Education.
