There's probably a move afoot to rename the venerable Morris Harvey College to Byrd University.

1) I bet he looked "pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty" in his cap and gown.

2) I hope he didn't wear his white cap and gown.

Welch said the degree isn't an honorary diploma often awarded to dignitaries, but is a real degree based on Byrd's 27 hours of class work at the school and the skills and knowledge he gained in more than 50 years in Congress.

Shouldn't they have been taking away credit hours based on the "skills and knowledge" he gained in Congress?

How can one earn a law degree before getting a bachelor's degree? My understanding is that a law degree is equivalent to a masters degree.

Wonder how much his "degree" cost the Taxpayers of the US?
