Yes, Bird received a Basketball scholarship to Indiana University in 1974. However, he was overwhelmed by the size of the campus and number of students and was not mentally ready for this stage of life. He dropped out of Indiana after 24 days.
Bird returned home to French Lick where he enrolled in the nearby Northwood Institute before dropping out and getting a job with the Street Department (the department picked up garbage, repaired roads, removed snow, mowed lawns, etc.) for a year.
He played AAU basketball for Hancock Construction and, after that year, decided to enroll at Indiana State University in Terre Haute.
