May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day3446 viewsBen speaks to the media after the ceremony.

To NFL Network's Rich Eisen on graduating at 30:

"I felt a little awkward, because I knew that the students around me were in middle school when I was winning a Super Bowl (laughs)."

May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day3647 viewsBen poses with his wife and family.

From USA Today:

Sunday would be a fine early Mother's Day present.

"Nine years later," Roethlisberger said, "we finally got it. When I told my parents, my mom teared up."

There was never a question of not marching. This day was for the family. Audrey Roethlisberger's first reaction at seeing her grandson in a graduation gown? "It fits."

May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day5525 viewsBen poses with his wife Ashley after receiving his diploma.

From USA Today:

Roethlisbergerâ€™s autumns have been kind of busy. And something always seemed to prevent him from enrolling in time for the winter term. AFC Championship Games, for instance.

But the Steelers were quick outs against Denver the past season and the morning after the defeat, his Miami academic advisor sent him an email. Roethlisberger figured it was a note of condolence. Instead, it was a call to class.

â€œHe responded in less than 20 minutes,â€ said Melissa Chase, associate dean. â€œHe never asked for a shortcut. It was always, â€˜What do I need to do?â€™ He did everything we asked of him. I know this was always a very important goal for him.â€

What they asked of him at the end included a paper on Tibet. â€œWhich I knew nothing about,â€ he said. Analyzing the New England defense was never like this. But luckily wife Ashley, with two degrees, makes a swell study buddy. He ended up with an A, and possibly more knowledge of Tibet than any quarterback in the NFL.

May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day3142 viewsFrom USA Today:

Most of the assembly didn't know Roethlisberger was coming. When he suddenly appeared in the lineup with his class, the cell phones quickly came out and the texting began.

"I'm going to be sitting there thinking, 'When I was in college, this person (next to him) was probably in middle school,' " Roethlisberger said before the ceremony. "I'm going to be the old man out there, but it's worth it.' "

Worth it, because he promised his parents in 2003, when he left Miami four credits short for the NFL, that one day he would graduate.
