And you can’t be so obtuse to think that athletics is a curriculum. Because it’s not.

Well, can’t may not be the right word. You shouldn’t be so obtuse to think that. But apparently you are.

This will make some sense when LSU starts conferring degrees in Football.

Why can't someone major in football? The coursework could include education n in anatomy and physiology as well as biochemistry. Other courses could include philosophy and studies on leadership as well as classes on finance and accounting.

In education, a curriculum (/k?'r?kj?l?m/; plural: curricula /k?'r?kj?l?/ or curriculums) is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process.


Curriculum is not an official term like you guys are treating it.

Football is technically an extracurricular activity.

Playing a violin can be an extracurricular activity, or you can major in Violin performance.

You can't major in football, yet.


The closest thing to an "athletic curriculum" is sports administration/coaching, which is really an education degree.

They are using the word to fit what they would expect from a student.

The fact is, is that many students are only there to learn football.

I guess 100 years ago football would be extracurricular. Now it isnt.

And yet you make the arguments that you’re making, which contradicts that.

I get your point, but your coming off as a real tard trying to defend that is curriculum. If you would have just said you know what I mean and why is it looked down upon some people may agree with you. Weird hill to die on when you are, by definition, wrong.

Did you just respond to your own post and quote yourself?

I responded to you. You can actually tell who you are responding to. It says it in the upper right hand.

I'll consider it a curriculum when any student takes it as a course and tuition is charged for it.

I'm aware of the term but in academia it's use is different and since we are using universities as your example then it stays with academics

But quoting yourself? And not actually making a valid point? I guess I’m asking...why?

That makes no sense. Money has nothing to do with the definition.
