An Internet Investigator Has Discovered Breaking News: Big Time D1 Athletes Take Easy Majors

In other news, grass is green. 

Look, I think this graphic is as funny as the next guy.....the fact that all the scholarship players listed have majored in either "Health" or "Health Promotions", while one of the white walk-ons is specializing in Electrical Engineering, explains all you need to know. These Houston players must subscribe to the Cardale Jones way of doing college:

And then the players that know they'll for sure need a degree after college are taking real courses in real Majors, unlike what apparently is the fraternity of Houston Men's Basketball players: Health Promotions. Here's what the 4 year plan for a Health Promotion major looks like at Houston:

I will admit that this does happen to look like the easiest major of all time. And I'm assuming they have plenty of help for that Disease Prevention course in Year 3, as well as the likely extremely difficult "Personal Health" class as a freshman. 

But I guess my point here is how funny it is that this guy thinks he found something "fishy" with this discovery. Do we think Houston is the only place where the athletes major in the same things….? Ohio State has their Turf Science majors, and North Carolina basketball had their African American Studies (that if I recall, they weren't even doing the work). Even at mid-majors, I remember going to a Kent State basketball game when I was a kid and the whole starting 5 majored in "General Studies". At least this Health Promotions major sounds Sciencey. General Studies is very accurate to what they do….they generally study.

At what point are we just going to get away from these athletes even needing to go to school? We're blogging today about a freshman being promised $250K a month before he even started school, and then we're blogging about the majors of the Houston basketball team. Kids can't be making $13 million to play college football and then be expected to show up to their classes, even if they are Health Promotions majors.
