Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Troy Aikman, told TMZ that he is officially on board to do Dancing With The Stars next season, joining the likes of past athletes such as NFL greats Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith.

Aikman was leaving Red O Restaurant in Los Angeles when he broke the news to TMZ reporters.

Apparently there are confliting reports. Aikman in his own words Tweets:

“I will not be on DWTS…interferes with American Idol auditions. “

Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram points out, the next season of Dancing With The Stars would conflict with Aikman’s football duties, the show has two “seasons” per year.  So Aikman possibly could have appeared “next year” as in, literally, next year.

Last season DWTS showcased three top sports figures including ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, Olympic Gold medalist ice skating champion, Evan Lysacek and Cincinnati Bengal’s wide receiver, Chad Ochocinco.

It is no secret that NFL players and professional athletes do well on Dancing With The Stars.

Past athletes and winners include Emmitt Smith, Apolo Ohno, Kristi Yamaguchi and Shaun Johnson.

The show has been great publicity for many of the stars, and has served as a great marketing vehicle for many of the athletes and celebrities who have appeared on the show.
