What are the OTHER members of the student body doing majoring in these specified majors?

I think some interesting data would be how many in those majors are special entry students.

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

Not phony per say, just designed to help special entry students with a sub par incoming education possibly get a college degree.

Why are you obsessing over these kids majors?

Because if kids are being pushed into these majors either because it is all they are able to handle or because it will keep them playing.

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?

Scholarships are 1 year deals. IT is good for some, but also sets a lot up for failure, especially if they can be cast off if they get hurt or are not good at sports anymore...

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?

It is like that at a lot of schools. That is exactly where we are headed with this thread I hope...
