At LSU, the General Studies major is set up where a person basically has three minors. My ex-wife, an LSU alumnus, has a friend that got a General Studies degree from there and honestly still does not have a "good" job after being out of undergrad for nearly six years. It is definitely not in the same category as Liberal Arts, at least not in that neck of the woods.
I am sure that Shaq at least did some work in order to complete the degree, but I do find it somewhat ironic that he didn't push to get his degree until after it was announced that a person had to have graduated from LSU in order to be in the Sports Hall of Fame and receive other accolades.
