A-Rod considering going to U of Miami for MBA: Report

Alex Rodriguez is apparently making good use of his free time during his suspension. Besides picking the brains of finance wizards Steve Cohen and Warren Buffett, the Yankees third baseman is considering going back to school for an MBA.

A-Rod is pondering getting the advanced degree at the University of Miami, reported Page Six of the N.Y. Post.

And why not? He already has his PED.

Rodriguez, suspended from the Yankees for 162 games, was spotted meeting with SAC Capital Advisers founder Cohen at the bar of the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills last week, according to CNBC.

The pair met with a group of eight before attending this week’s Milken Institute Global Conference. Rodriguez was seen at Milken events — on Tuesday, he went to a reception celebrating women business leaders.

Wednesday he was at a panel discussion on the business of sports with Magic Johnson and football star Larry Fitzgerald.

A-Rod was on his way to Omaha to the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting Friday night, held by billionaire Buffett, with one source telling us, “When he’s not on the field, Alex takes his business interests very seriously.”

Rodriguez would need a lot of undergrad credits before pursuing an MBA. He never went to college after being recruited as quarterback and signing a letter of intent to play baseball with the Hurricanes before becoming a rookie with the Seattle Mariners right out of high school.

I wonder if those offers at The U still stand?
