Shaquille O'Neal's hopes of teaching at university dashed by ASU representative

Earlier this month, Shaquille O'Neal was reported to take on a new role as a professor at Alabama State University. However, Ken Mullinax, the Director of University Relations, dashed the four-time NBA champion's hopes as he revealed that University officials were not aware of any such talks.

Shaq had previously revealed his desire to become a professor on "Inside the NBA" last week.

"From now I would like to be addressed as Professor O’Neal because when I graduate in two years, I will leave you and become a college professor on mentorship and business administration," Shaq said.

After concluding his illustrious career in the NBA in 2011, O'Neal found success as a businessman with multiple business ventures under his name. He has also taken up various other roles, including Reebok's President of Basketball, sports analyst on TNT and also pursues his interest in music as DJ Diesel.

The LA Lakers legend has added more and more titles to his impressive resume. However, it seems his desire to become a university professor might have to wait.
