Watch: Pro Football Hall of Famer just another college student these days

Favorite Notre Dame memory of The Bus?

If you walk around Notre Dame’s campus this semester you might have a chance encounter with a student who stands out just a little bit compared to his classmates.  On a campus full of Jeffs, Taras, Henrys, and Dawns, there is only one student named “The Bus”.

Well, nicknamed, anyway.

Pro Football Hall of Fame running back and former Notre Dame standout Jerome Bettis is back on campus this semester to fulfill a promise he made to his mother long ago: earn his degree from the University of Notre Dame.

NBC’s “Today” caught up with Bettis and followed “The Bus” around campus in a feature that aired on Friday morning.  Watch it below:

The wheels on this bus certainly go full-circle.
