Graduation day comes for several WVU football players

The holiday season is upon us, which means family, friends and food. Christmas Day is the biggest blowout for those three key ingredients to a happy, healthy life.

Christmas came a week early for a group of West Virginia football players. On Friday at the WVU Coliseum, nine football players received their degrees from West Virginia University.

Most of these guys became Mountaineers for football. Many schools were recruiting them out of high school and junior college, but they chose to don the blue and gold and become Mountaineers.

The biggest reason, no doubt, is football.
