A-Rod makes donation, plans on attending classes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Associated Press

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- Miami Hurricanes fan Alex Rodriguez is sharing some of his wealth with his favorite university.

The All-Star shortstop for the Texas Rangers donated $3.9 million to the private university, which said the gift will be used to fund an annual scholarship, in perpetuity, at Miami for a member of the Boys and Girls Club of America.

Rodriguez is an alumnus and a major backer of the Boys Clubs organization.

The donation will also help kick off a fund-raising campaign toward renovating the university's baseball stadium.

Rodriguez also announced his intention to enroll at the university to work toward a degree. As a Miami-area high school senior, Rodriguez had been accepted as a student at UM.
