Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1267739, member: 628"] I'm with you. I've long advocated that schools should be allowed to offer a major in Athletics. If smart kids want to get a degree in Marketing or Computer Science or Engineering that's great. If they don't then they can get credits for playing and practicing their sport, and maybe taking a few related classes in sports management or whatever. The whole thing is such a sham, might as well be honest about it. College football and college hoops are minor league sports. In baseball and hockey those minor leaguers get paid. There's no need to keep up the farce that requires a kid to major in "general studies" just to stay eligible because the NCAA made-up the term "student athlete" to get out of paying them decades ago.
