Fact: He didn't even graduate! Never earned a degree.

Thing is that you don't have to go to university or graduate from university to be intelligent or to have a high standing in the community. LeBron James did not go to university, yet he has done well for himself, and has generally carried himself very well in terms of expressing his views and understanding of political and social issues.
Walker seems to be a pathological liar, which is probably why Trump likes him. He lies when he does not have to, when a reasonable person would know that the information is readily verifiable.
I went to university. I got fairly decent grades and received my bachelor's degree. If I say something like, "I graduated Magna Cum Laude" Someone, somewhere is going to be able to get access to my transcript and reveal that that was a lie. So when people ask me about my education, I tell the truth.

Local Football Star
Good Name Recognition
He's Black, so Every Black Voter Will Obviously Vote for Him
Did We Mention Local Football Hero?
Has Zero Political Experience (That's a plus for GQP candidates)
Bad pick.

Atlanta is lovely & liberal.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
