Do we at Stanford University currently have this Undergraduate Major, like the following ....(like University of Michigan has)?

If not, given that Sports is soon to be a "Trillion Dollar Industry", this would be a great major to explicitly add to our Undergrad Majors:
for Undergrads of all types, and also it might attract Great Student Athletes to come to Stanford University.

Just to add:
Looks like Unversity of Michigan offers both:
• Bachelors Degree (Undergraduate Major)
• Masters Degree
In this SportsManagement Major
...do we at Stanford have this Undergraduate Major of 'Sports Management' ?
If not, any idea why not ? (Seems like a relevant major given that Worldwide Sports is a Trillion Dollar Industry).
Because faculty ultimately drive and determine which majors a school/department will offer and that's not been an identified academic priority. Besides that and financial support, an academic major also requires assigned faculty and approved curriculum and I am guessing we have few faculty specializing in sports management.
That said, who knows - it wouldn't surprise me at all to see sports management degree/certificate programs established in the not-too-distant future.
