wtf is this? you advocate for a football curriculum even though one already exists? how fucking brilliant are you? why don't you actually expound on what a football major would entail: counting hashmarks? choreographing cheerleading routines? designing concourses for the stadium?poptart wrote: With the system in place right NOW, they are already doing that.
A football player at a big-time D-1 school is required to put in a helluva lot of hours.
He's already "studying" a football curriculum.
football players have to put time in because it's their job, for all intents and purposes. i've already pointed out and you've conveniently glossed over the fact the time commitments are hardly different for a student who has to work his way through college. football players probably even save time by getting their workouts out of the way while they're "working."
it's a stupid idea but one you're willing to hang your hat on, like a fucking retard.
yeah, you dumb fucking retard, because there's no such thing as an outlier or other abnormalities to skew averages. ignoring the fact there is no such thing as an 'average' student, your article/ace in the hole would have you believe any normal student picked at random would be 300 points smarter on the sat than a football player picked at random even though that student belongs to a group whose average is impressive only because of the fleet of asians he never speaks to who scored 1590s. here's how math works, vagina:Good thing you chose english - ?maybe?, 'cuz apparently math ain't your thang.
If the average of one total group is 20+% lower than the average of another total group (which football player's SAT scores are, in comparison to the overall student population), then we KNOW that the 20+% lower group has a significant number of *LOW SCORES* which bring the overall average down to such an extent.
a closer gives up 2 runs over 12 innings while converting his first 10 saves. his era is 1.50. his next game he gives up a walk-off grand slam. his era is now 4.38. average tells the full story here, right?
because state schools are known for their stringent standards. the only connection to football the meat heads i dealt with in college had was their bs about being all-league in hs or some shit.Look at a knuckhead walking around big-time D-1 campus - it's a pretty good bet he's a football or basketball playah.
your idea becomes more retarded the more you actually try to defend it.
