It sounded like Aaron Rodgers was returning to UC Berkeley to work toward his degree, though the quarterback later cleared up any confusion.

Rodgers shared an Instagram video Tuesday afternoon seemingly showing the start of summer school at Cal — but then called that #FakeNews in a following post.

His first video Tuesday displayed Sather Tower a.k.a. The Campanile and he used the hashtag #timetograduate, sounding like he’ll soon be an alum.

“Summer school: Day 1,” Rodgers said, wearing sunglasses and a hat perhaps as a bit of a disguise.

Except, not so much. Rodgers later clarified the situation. He was visiting the campus and the football staff — like head coach Justin Wilcox — but is still too busy with the NFL to finish his degree.

Plus, Packers training camp conflicts with Cal classes this summer.

“#GoingToGraduateSomeDay #NotDoingSummerSchoolThisYear #ThatWasAJoke” Rodgers wrote in another Instagram post, along with several other hashtags.

Rodgers did, after all, decide to forego his senior season with California to enter the 2005 NFL Draft, where he famously sat long enough in the green room to luck into a selection by the Packers.

This is the first time Rodgers, 33, has publicly stepped foot back at Cal since Tedford’s tenure ended.

While no established connection between those two things, it’s easy to wonder what Rodgers thought about Tedford’s firing after a 3-9 season. Tedford scouted Rodgers from Butte College in Chico and offered him a scholarship and the two were instrument in a resurgent Golden Bears era.

It must be added that Rodgers has indeed been pretty dang busy tending to his job as a quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. (Some may say that gig is the source of his reported familial strife.)

However, Rodgers took some time to walk down memory lane Tuesday after attending the Warriors’ championship-clinching win Monday night.

Here are his posts from the visit…
