George Jones University

[Double J]

There doesn't seem to be any truth to the rumour that Tim Matheson, Peter Riegert and the late John Belushi will be among those people awarded honourary degrees. :D

Dedicated to teaching students how the music industry works and how to break into the business, George Jones University will assemble its first 3-day session in late March, school officials said Wednesday.

The kickoff session, which likely will be held at Jones' Nashville-area home, will be followed by similar quarterly seminars.

...

Besides Jones, the school plans to bring in guest lecturers such as Ralph Emery, Tom T. Hall and Hank Williams Jr.

George Jones U even has a mascot it got from the singer's nickname, a possum.

Yep. And don't dare come out of the closet while in school.
