A column from the Washington Post recently argued that sports should be offered as an academic pursuit, alongside more traditional departments, such as science, business, and the humanities.

Why shouldn’t we let kids major in sports? Aspiring athletes should be able to pursue their real interest, as a business and an art…With a fundamental shift in the way we think about college sports, by designating them intellectually worthwhile exercises instead of mere obsessions, we might gain some clarity. 

It would probably be more useful than my degree in English… Just saying.
