A fix for college football

From gunfreezone

Fix #1: "Colleges should create a BA in Football.  Any student who makes the team should be allowed to major in Football.  Forget making college football players pick a degree in some other subject.    Teach them game strategy, some sports medicine, the economics of football, personal money management, etc.  The stuff that a pro ball player needs to be successful.  Just admit that those kids are there to try to be pro ball players and stop bullshitting them and us with having them cheat to pass classes they don’t care about in degrees they might never use.  If they don’t get drafted, it sucks to be them, but lots of kids graduate with useless degrees too.  Not every kid with a journalism degree ends up a talking head on CNN or MSNBC."

Fix #2: "End college football the way we know it altogether.  Spin it off as minor league like baseball.  I like this idea more because I really hate the fact that in many states, the highest-paid state employees are the millionaire salaries of the state’s big-school football coach.  In Alabama, Nick Saban is a state employee making an $11.125 million in salary.

"Let the NFL create a minor league that young players can join out of high school and let it be easier for cities to create minor league franchises.  The let those coaches and players earn their money in the private sector.

"I’d prefer the latter approach, but whatever we do, we need to stop treating college football players like they are pros getting screwed.  They are not.  They are students training for the pros and should be treated accordingly."

The writer makes a good point: College football players are students majoring in football.

Of course, to recognize that, with a football major, would take away left-wing arguments that African-American college football players are but a step above the plantation. Anti-football faculty and administrators could no longer argue against football programs. Well, they could and probably would, but Football 101 and advanced classes would take much steam from the arguments.
