Majors for P5 football players

Remember Ohio State had a player want to transfer to Maryland only to find that his courses at Ohio State were useless and not transferrable. Something along those lines.

You may be thinking about Sammy Maldonado. Here's an excerpt from this ESPN article:

IN SIX academic quarters at Ohio State, Maldonado had earned a decent number of credits (his 57 were the equivalent of about 40 at a semester school). He compiled a 2.3 GPA and had never lost his eligibility. But his coursework included four credits for playing football, three for Tressel's Coaching Football class, 10 for remedial reading, 10 for remedial math and three for Issues Affecting Student Athletes. Six other credits wouldn't transfer because he earned D's in two classes. Maldonado couldn't understand how he had earned only 17 transferable credits in two years. Even today the number pinballs around his head. "What kind of degree can you get from Ohio State if none of your classes count at other colleges?" he asks.

How do we arrange for our players to get credit for playing football?

And I am only kidding. I hope the type of S/A that comes to GT takes academics seriously and would refuse credits for simply playing football
