That's a viable degree course but I'm certain I saw you suggest getting credit for playing in HS. I responded to that. WR won't be an accredited class at a school like TN.

There's sports management. I think Hooker might be a grad student in something like that after his public relations degree at VT. I'm not sure but I see him as being a potential coach one day.

My issue is giving credit for playing a sport. I'm reasonably certain the NCAA doesn't allow it and I'd wager college accrediting agencies would take a very dim view of it.

I didn't say it was currently happening.

I said it should and it should've been from the start.

So, what's the difference of having 2-3 years in a foreign language class compared to 2-3 years in a sport, since they will both be used in college under this scenario?

Mainly you can test and accredit a language skill.

It's a sure bet the coaching at a rural school is nowhere near the coaching at IMG or an elite prep. Certainly the Spanish class is probably better too but you can have a standardized, accredited Spanish test for both. Can you imagine a college seriously suggesting a Wide Receiver test for accreditation of giving credit?

If the scenario is as I suggested, there would be standardized points of learning. The sport would have set primary items that would be taught and could be tested.

In fact, accredited or not, this should already be happening to help kids at smaller schools. It would give kids at more remote, lesser known schools a better opportunity at making it to a collegiate level of play.

If the TSSAA and other states decided to do such, that's fine.

As I said, I recall deep in the past that the NCAA does not allow players to get actual school credit for practice and playing.

I'm well aware of the financial realities of recruitment. My bubble is fine.

I'm not opposed to NIL, but there is a huge difference in players being able to benefit from their name being on the jersey you bought vs it simply being a way for billionaires to legally buy athletes under the guise of NIL. The way it's currently structured, the rich will get richer, and everyone else will suffer. So yeah, I guess it is the American way.
