Is Shaquille O'Neal trading in the NBA for a career as an MBA? Not yet, but that's his long-term plan. Shaq, who recently earned his MBA from the online education giant University of Phoenix, intends to pursue business ventures once his basketball run ends.

"It's just something to have on my resume [for] when I go back into reality," he told ESPN. "Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else.

I wonder if he applied for financial aid.
