My university had college courses explicitly for college athletes. Basically, a slow class, who's entire structure was built around the sports industry (assuming that they would have to go into that, rather than drop out. None of the theoretical knowledge needed. Most of the work was plug and chug calculations.
It kept the GPA's up, since they would have flunked out of normal classes, and it at least gives them a chance to be skilled enough to do something else in the sports industry, rather than just going home and picking up a retail job after dropping out.
