I can think of Debbie Thomas, Tenley Albright and Paul Wylie who were able to handle University studies and figure skating at the same time
Anyone know of others?

I think quite a few skaters from other countries manage it. I believe that both Shizuka Arakawa and Fumie Suguri are college graduates. Irina Slutskaya has some sort of degree, I think, but it might be sports related.
Didn't Matt Savoie graduate from college last year?

Matt Savoie received his master's degree last year -- urban planning, IIRC -- and his college degree before that.
And, of course, there was Dick Button and John Misha Petkovich, both Harvard students.

Good for Kimmie!
Nearly all of the Japanese skaters are have attended/are attending/are planning to attend the University of their choice and some of them have in mind careers other than skating (Oda is planning to retire after the Olympics and become an English language teacher).

Right on, Kimmie!!!!!!!!!

I commend all the skaters who realize that their education should not stop with the high school diploma.
Juggling coursework with ice practice and competition is very difficult. Even when a skater does "reach the top" there is no guarantee of a lifetime income. A college degree in the very least will offer opportunities when the skating stops.
Kimmie, I applaud you, on and off the ice,

Amber Corwin graduated from USC Long Beach with a degree in fashion design/ marketing IIRC. I remember Peggy Fleming mentioning several times that Amber was designing her own costumes.
Derrick Delmore is a graduate of Stanford.
