During college, he had various business ventures, including a bar, disco lessons, and a chain letter.
He chose Indiana's Kelley School of Business without even visiting the campus because "It had the least expensive tuition of all the business schools on the top 10 list". After one year at the University of Pittsburgh, he transferred to Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, and graduated from the Kelley School of Business in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Management. He is a fan of Pittsburgh's “beloved” NFL team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Instead of attending high school for his senior year, he enrolled as a full-time student at the University of Pittsburgh, where he joined the Pi Lambda Phi International fraternity. At age 16, Cuban took advantage of a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strike by running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh. Some years later, he earned money by selling stamps and coins. Cuban's first step into business occurred at age 12, when he sold garbage bags to pay for a pair of expensive basketball shoes. His maternal grandparents, who were also Jewish, came from Romania. His paternal grandfather changed the family name from "Chabenisky" to "Cuban" after his family emigrated from Russia through Ellis Island. Cuban has described his mother, Shirley, as someone with "a different job or different career goal every other week." He grew up in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mount Lebanon, in a Jewish working-class family. His father, Norton Cuban, was an automobile upholsterer. Cuban was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
