That sounds fun. Everyone we’ve met that works in athletics seems to enjoy their job…especially the ones still in school.

Well he made a 20 on his ACT and the average score at UF is 30…and “basic science” are the hardest freshman courses at college. My physics degree from LSU only says the college of basic science on it.
How much time does it take during the week to become an NFL kicker?

they tend to steer scholarship athletes to the easiest path to remain academically eligible, not necessarily adhering to a curriculum, when he’s out of eligibility, hurt, or they’re done with him he’s on his own, he’d be well advised to take advantage of the educational opportunities, he’ll have access to tutors, preferential schedules, etc., he really doesn’t need a sports management degree, his in to that industry would be that he played college sports

He has 2 hours a day mandatory tutoring as a freshman…I would be working at JPL if I had 2 hours of tutoring a day.
He can revisit the decision in the spring, he’s redshirting so he has time.

Saint Stanislaus is very rigorous? Maybe should have gone to tutoring instead of kicking camp. You know most athletes are going pro in something other than sports.

There are 2 levels of classes, they graduate very smart kids…my son only took two classes with the smart kids and made Cs in both.

Some of yall put way too much emphasis on sports as a measurement of success.

Does it involve learning how to bilk taxpayers for money on behalf of municipalities to build sports facilities for the billions to be generated by travel youth sports?

We know a young man who declared that to be his major as a Freshman.
For his Sophomore year, he joined the Air Force.

That’s all my son wanted to do…at least he was setting goals and working very hard for them…better than being lazy. Not everyone can be an accountant.

I think one of the classes is about how to use one of these and write legibly in the cab of a truck

the very negative observations of sports management are on target. My son excelled at UF getting a masters of sports admin. 20 years ago. He struggled for 7 years trying to find a job , working through private elementary schools, selling life insurance, tupper ware etc. The curriculum did not provide him with the knowledge to make good life choices. He finally worked his way into a large high school, teaching math, special needs teenagers and coaching football. Tough job but he needed the extra stipends to support his family

Yea, it’s terrible. I wasn’t sure how he’d pass classes at UF.

Definitely needs a more mullet oriented haircut.

I wish when I went to college I would have studied athletics. I just think being the athletic director for a school would have been the funnest job ever.
Start off at the HS level and work my way up to college. It’s something that I always think about that I wish I would have went after when I was younger

He won’t have a problem being a UF football player, and a UF grad they are usually well taken care of with booster connections when it comes to life after football.
