Why? My guess: He's trying to make business connections as he transitions to retirement.

Rodriquez has been to several athletic events. Basketball and baseball at least.Â

Well he has really no college connection as he didn't play college ball. He was recruited to play baseball and football for Miami but decided to sign with Seattle Mariners. Why not network and make connection with one of the best university in the world.Â

Maybe investing in the VR thing?

I was listening to Fox Sports 1, and they just said that A-Rod was an assistant coach for Stanford Baseball in 2014 while he was suspended from MLB.
Didn't know that! How did we not hear more press about that??? That would be pretty amazing to be a Stanford baseball player and having A-Rod as your coach.

That plus Torii Hunter's kid was playing for USB.
Quote:Torii Hunter said hes known Alex Rodriguez since they were teenage phenoms Hunter starring at Pine Bluff (Ark.) High School and A-Rod at Miamis Westminster Christian before both got drafted in 1993, Hunter getting picked by the Twins, 19 spots after Rodriguez, the No. 1 overall pick by Seattle.
And Fox's Joel Klatt had a hard-on for USB - Redrum - 11-29-2015
Man, after the final FG and the ensuing chaos on the field, he went into this oration on the nobility and honor of Notre Dame in defeat. It was weird.

Sigh...I'm not sure that produced sufficient results on the field...

A-Rod wasn't an assistant. He worked out at Stanford and with the Stanford players.Â
Re: NYY Alex Rodriguez on the field wearing a Stanford sweater - fullmetal - 11-29-2015
Interesting. What was his original connection to Stanford baseball...?

Just guessing from seeing them together at Stanford:Â Mike Mussina
