The Next Best Thing to Paying NCAA Athletes: The Sports Major

This is a completely original idea of mine. Some of you may have already heard this from the 2nd episode of my podcast, but the visuals are new. Let me know what you think of the idea. I'm shooting for at least 1 of these per week 🎥

"I'm just here so I don't get fined"

[@alenv6532]

Really love this idea, makes total sense, just don’t know how long it would take to implement that nation wide

[@jakejones6866]

I did a paper on this last year for school. And I totally agree. It’s crazy how much school stress is placed on there back while also the stress of having to perform well. I really like you arguments. Great video.

[@snoozy7467]

Yea and plus billions of dollars are made from d1 colleges sports a year

[@TrexKN]

I'd love to read it if you feel good enough about it to put it into a public Google Doc or something.

[@devdoshi3448]

This makes so much sense especially with the amount of ncaa athletes that end up going pro

[@Rob-qb7yh]

Respect for the time and effort that gets put into these.

[@Nuke-nh6zp]

Love this. College athletes need to be payed especially if they are d1 athletes cause we all know they play so much they sleep through half the lectures in class. And they mean something to the school if the school doesn’t have a good sports program athletes won’t want to go there.

[@bradyenherrig5773]

Why did this feel like a history class video that we had to take notes and summarize it? Lmao

[@Ccornelius5862]

I remember it being a big deal that UNC got to keep their wins because of what they were doing with fake classes

[@jakesturgeon7259]

i believe that the ncaa should do this whether they like it or not

[@defensivetak75]

Your videos feel like I’m watching a major big budget sports program on cable but with a down to earth perspective. Well done 👍

[@aidendoucette8928]

This is a good idea but I’m just here for my hoodie lol

[@TrexKN]

You didn't really have me until "they work for the university". Less true at small schools, but in the bigger schools this is so true. At my university the ticket sales just went to team costs, but at a D1 basketball/football game they're pulling huge cash, not to mention TV contracts, apparel, donations, etc. It's bad enough they don't make money when someone buys a jersey with their name on it, but to not even be able to be in an ad is insane. ESPECIALLY when you put it in the perspective of "they work for the university".

[@TrexKN]

I think the only catch would be that it could be a major but would still need complementary courses. Management, education, training, kinesiology, whatever. It can be broad and multi-faceted, and count towards an undergrad so they can get into masters programs, but there still need to be academic outcomes so that they can actually work after, and so that they can create viable outcomes for the athletes.

[@ethanbrandt5967]

Sports becoming a major is a great idea. My only issue with that is how do you deal with testing? Especially for players who play backup or get injuried
