Srsly tho, at UF he should nut up and do Aerospace Engineering, was a great program back in the day, only imagine the facilities are even better now

Aerospace might be the toughest engineering major. Dude aint cut out for that.

If he was wired like me I would have pushed him toward a condensed matter, materials, career. That’s the most crucial part of Aero anyway.

Get him to become a nurse? Solid money so long as he's will to work. Don't have to be real smart either.

Anything he does will be after kicking. He’s gotta dream to kick in the NFL and there’s not another thought in his head, outside of his girlfriend. It just is what it is.

Don't feel bad, any non-accountant with a regular business degree feels the same way.

You're not wrong about some of your toughest classes being freshmen science courses. I had to take the 'hard' chemistry courses for my engineering degree early on in college, the same chemistry the pre-med kids are taking. I dropped my first chemistry after making a 50 on the mid term. Took it again next semester and made a 48 on the midterm, but stuck it out and made a B in the class.
It gets easier. College is all about managing. Have him stack the hard classes with the bs English 101 and art appreciation (the GOAT napping class).

I’m pretty sure the show Ballers was financed by the collegiate Sports Management degree system.
They should teach everyone on day one that the best way into that world is to be friends with a world class athlete who is bad at business. If you luck out, you can build a roster from there.
Or run a rap label. For some reason they always branch out into managing athletes.

All that is great but you have to be realistic. “You can be anything you want to be” is a BS lie.

I have a relative that has a degree in this. He manages a recreation department for a pretty large county. He isn't making crazy money, but he has an enjoyable job making a little more than most people.
He even recognizes that he is the exception rather than the rule, and he had connections going into it.

I know someone with a sports management degree. After college, he got a job at his university and spent most of his time maintaining the football and baseball fields. He eventually quit and is now a manager at a fast food restaurant
Baylor pushes the heck out of this. Localized, but i'm only 30 minutes from there. The two people i know that graduated with it actually do work in the field. One runs a golf course and the other publishes a sporting magazine.

The issue is that doing something with sports is all a large portion of guys want to do.
It's what I want to do. But I'm not big enough or talented enough to play. I don't have the connections to be an agent. Maybe one day (as an accountant funny enough), I can work with a sports franchise in a front office role. Wouldn't that be the dream?
You can work as hard as you want, working in sports most of the time comes down to connections and luck.
I think the turf management thing is really cool, OP. I'd go that route. A lot more practical.

I’ll see if he can revisit in the spring. Science seems perfect if you’re getting a ton of tutoring…there’s no leap of thought until you get much higher in the classes, outside of physics. Just learn the facts. Botany, Biology, and Alg/Trig are the ‘critical tracking’ courses for the first semester. If he jumps on that in the spring he should be good with redshirt…

it is called a management degree like an MBA. managing sports, managing factory, managing office, pretty much all the same. You manage people, output, purchasing, contracts, bottom line

There is a golf course and turf management specialization with the BABA…but I see him more of an outside guy and not a numbers guy…who knows though.

I agree. If you don’t know where your boundaries are you can’t push them.
There’s luck in everything as well…can’t make a FG without the other guys. Luckily, at this level, those guys are really good too.
