Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig appears to be headed back to school once he has retired.

The 77-year-old Selig, owner of the Milwaukee Brewers from 1970 to 1992 and commissioner of Major League Baseball since then, will retire in 2012.

Selig plans to return to his alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, to write his memoirs.

"One of the favorite parts of my life was the four years I spent in Madison, and I always thought I would be coming back as a history professor," Selig said Tuesday. "I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to it, to write my book and do what I want to do in Madison."

Selig has been generous to the university and is being paid back with a new office in the Humanities Building.

Selig has given over a million dollars for a professor to teach the history of sports and had scholarships created in his honor.
