Jimmer Fredette’s celebrity has reached a feverish pitch at Brigham Young University. So much so that he's stopped going to classes.

That is not unusual for college basketball stars who plan to make their living in the NBA, but in this case it was the school that requested it.

"It was getting too disruptive," said Al Fredette, Jimmer's father, who explained that Jimmer's fame in Provo, Utah, has led to constant requests for autographs and photographs. "He can't go anywhere in Provo without being recognized."

Jimmer now does all his schoolwork online.
