OT - Football as a Major

I read an article about Mike Leach going to Mississippi State and it mentioned he taught a class about Football while at Washington State. It got me thinking about a major in Football and how it would look so I put together a curriculum. It should be open to any student, with the exception of participation in Game/Practice labs which would be reserved for members of the football team. Would love to hear feedback from the TKP community.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
