You've already got entire teams that are 100% online-only classes. Partially because going to a real class would "interfere" with the practice, games, training, video, etc. If an athlete dares to take a real class, it shows they're not fully committed to the team & coach. Or maybe you'll get a situation where every athlete is on-track for a "Sports Management" degree. Instead of playing 3-4 years to get a high school letter-jacket, you just play 3-4 years to get a Sports degree from LSU.
