    Summer is the ideal time for Ford to take classes. After the Raptors were knocked out of the NBA playoffs, he returned to Houston before joining former college teammate Royal Ivey, a free agent with the Atlanta Hawks, at UT.

    "I have a long way to go," said Ford, an education major. "I think the hardest thing is knowing I have so many hours to go because I left after my second year. I have a little bit more than half to go."

    Financially, Ford has no worries ? he signed a multimillion-dollar contract extension last year ? beyond his playing days. He said the question that comes up among other athletes and classmates is why he devotes his time to schoolwork.

    "It's just something I'm going to try my best to accomplish," he said. "I know it's something nobody can ever take away. I'm going to try and stick after it."</div>

    Let's just hope his graduation doesn't fall on the morning of a crucial playoff game.

    Imagine the irony. I think it is good, but I rather him work out, then work his brain, but whatever he wants. I think he'll gradute end of next year or something, just so that won't happen.

    Maybe the education will make him have better decisions while playing? ^^

    I doubt it. I think he just has to improve that while he plays, I don't think any one can teach him that.
