Larry Brown Sports: “An ex-NFL draft bust is embarking on his second act at 27 years old.

Eric Sondheimer of the Los Angeles Times reported this week that former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen is now attending business school. Rosen is reportedly enrolled at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

Tuition and fees for an MBA can cost roughly between $72,000 and $84,000 per year at the 11 top business schools, according to the U.S. News Best Business Schools rankings.

However, there are several ways to reduce a student’s out-of-pocket cost, admissions experts say. One way is that prospective MBA students who work for a major company may be able to get employer sponsorship.
