per Shooter:

"Willie Burton, 43, who ranks No. 2 in all-time men's basketball scoring for the Gophers, is back at his alma mater to complete his undergrad degree, 21 years after he left school for a nine-year NBA career.

Burton is designing a life skills program for student-athletes, a business plan he plans to make a career beginning next March.

Burton was one of six Gophers - along with Melvin Newbern, Richard Coffey, Kevin Lynch, Bob Martin and Walter Bond - with whom he played who got a chance to play in the NBA.

"I take great pride in that for my teammates," he said."
