The Hall of Fame running back has returned to Notre Dame to complete his business degree, 30 years after his final football season with the Fighting Irish.
Bettis, 49, is now months away from fulfilling a promise he made to his mother to get a college degree, 18 years after he retired from a legendary career with the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The physical runner nicknamed"The Bus" who once plowed right through the heart of defenses now gets lost in new buildings on campus like a wide-eyed college freshman. His classmates are taking notes on iPads, while he uses an actual pad and a pen. Bettis left early for the NFL draft after his junior season with Notre Dame and was selected 10th overall in the first round by the Rams in 1993.
Without a looming professional football career on his mind this time around, he admittedly is more focused.
