I don't have adequate information to answer that question. I am not privileged to the conversations between athletes and their academic advisors. I haven't conducted research on the matriculation of athletes through academic programs. I have no data on jobs that athletes get upon leaving the university (aside from personal/anecdotal knowledge of specific cases).
Also, notice that I'm talking about the larger body of athletes and you keep specifying football. Is it your stance that decisions made regarding the treatment of football players should not apply to athletes in general?
If you drive past the ECV each morning, you will see various athletes (yes, some of whom are football players) standing at the bus stop before 8am wearing backpacks waiting on the bus. Where do you think those athletes are headed?

Next question:
What are the OTHER members of the student body doing majoring in these specified majors?
Next question:
Are these phoney majors just made up for CFB players? I cannot find I bit of evidence to suggest for all except for maybe Sport Management
Next question:
Why are you obsessing over these kids majors?
Aren't they better off at least having a degree in one of these fields as opposed to not having a degree at all?
Would you suggest they not be in college at all?
Don't you think being around a college enviroment for 3 to 4 years is a better experience than your alernative? What do you suggest for these kids?
The JC route? Trade school?

Interesting article about CFB players and their majors. Says 35-59 non Freshman at Vandy are ALL majoring in the same thing...Human and Organizational Mgt.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing in your opinion?
