Message: [QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 210105, member: 87"] I honestly do not understand why a kid cannot major in basketball. There are so many aspects to being a professional athlete that these kid could be learning about. They get much of it through their participation with the team, but the time is limited by the NCAA. Everyone realizes that most players entering the NBA are woefully under prepared in many aspects of the job from money management, to marketing savvy, to public relations. The full act of preparing for the draft, going through the workouts, agent selection etc could be an "independent study" course that is worth credit. Why not build a curriculum around all that? Is that considered too "vocational" for a real university? [/QUOTE]
