UNIVERSITY PARK -- When Akoy Agau transferred to SMU in May, it wasn't simply for "basketball reasons." Sure, the 6-foot-8 power forward saw the opportunity for playing time under Tim Jankovich. And he was impressed with how former Duke transfer Semi Ojeleye had flourished into a second-round NBA draft pick on the Hilltop.
Agau, however, had just graduated from Georgetown in two years with a double major in English and anthropology. At SMU, he wanted to expand his horizons.
So he took advantage of one of the most respected schools at SMU and enrolled in the Cox School of Business' masters in science and management program.
