Slightly misleading headline...he's not quitting to join the glee club, he's quitting to travel all over the world for a year with the glee club.
 
I was going to post something similar earlier today. What an opportunity to see the world! Taking a year off to see the world is something you cannot turn down. Obviously, he's not going to be an NBA player, but he has a Yale degree waiting for him after he returns, another year of eligibility & has his sights on becoming the mayor of Bridgeport someday. Sounds like he's got an agenda to do big things in life. He will have a lifetime of stories to tell. I certainly wouldn't turn it down, unfortunately, I couldn't carry a tune in a suitcase! ;) I've seen The Whiffenpoofs at Mory's a couple of times, they are very excellent.

Check out where the current group is touring.... Wow!

If that isn't seeing the world, I don't know what is!
 
He loves to sing-a;
About the moon-a;
and the June-a;
and the Spring-a;
He loves to sing-a...
 
That's a rough schedule. Every other day, they are in a different city and in most cases a different country. For 3 months! Definitely worth it though!
 
Is he paying for tuition in 2014-15 out of his own pocket?
Yale is non-scholarship... Ivy League... so whatever way he's paying his tuition (financial aid, rich parents, scholarships, etc.) then I'm assuming he still is paying it.
