Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 2264129, member: 628"] One of the theories I've put forth on this board, generally to wide derision, is exactly that. Let a kid major in football. Give him 20+ credits a year for that. Then supplement it with a few basic courses from a pool of relevant electives (sports business, public communications, etc). These kids come to P5 schools to play football and hoops. Let them major in that. My wife went to SU to major in music education. She learned to play instruments and studied music theory. She didn't participate in the wind ensemble as a "student musician" and then get forced to practice 30 hours a week while being told she had to major in Philosophy. If someone who plays wants to dual major in biochemical engineering and Russian studies instead while playing football then more power to them. [/QUOTE]
