If they want to cut majors, start with the "no-fail" majors that the athletes take. That way, when 90% of them don't make it into pro sports, they can actually contribute to society.

Everyone contributes to society.

The schools just shouldn't be corrupt enough to offer a glorified adult daycare degree like "Business" in the first place.
