Davidson won't retire Stephen Curry's jersey until he graduates

Davidson does not make exceptions to its rules for honoring former athletes. Not even for favorite son Stephen Curry.

The school retires only the jerseys of players who graduated. And Curry, the most recognized and accomplished player in school history, has not completed his degree requirements after going to the NBA a year early in 2009.

So arguably the new face of the league, whose profile only increased after leading the Golden State Warriors to the 2015 NBA title, will not be formally recognized on his former campus until he finishes his courses.
