'Jeopardy!' James Holzhauer Isn't Getting Honorary Doctorate From Illinois Yet

James Holzhauer is making his alma mater proud with his "Jeopardy!" dominance, but he's gonna have to keep the streak going even longer if he wants the University of Illinois to award him a huge honor.

Illini Big wigs tell TMZ ... James is proving there are many ways to use a math degree from Illinois, but they're not ready to hand him an honorary doctorate any time soon. You might think it's because he kinda shaded his campus experience recently on the show.

I minored in fantasy sports. Thanks for the diverse course catalog, @Illinois_Alma!
