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).
Stanford also has no undergraduate business degree...
The UM sports management program appears to be housed in the School of Kinesiology, we don't have one of those either....
That School offers
Undergraduate degrees
- BS Applied Exercise Science
- BS Movement Science
- BA Sport Management
- MS Athletic Training
- MS Movement Science
- MS Sport Management
- PhD Movement Science
- PhD Sport Management
I could not find how many undergrads are in the sports management program, but the total in the School of Kinesiology is 1,347 undergrad and 166 grad students.
from here
https://www.kines.umich.edu/academics/sport-management
in 2022 they had 110 graduates with BS in sports management UM has ~35,000 undergrads so the BS in sports management is ~1% of undergrad degrees (110*4/35,000). If the take rate was the same at Stanford that would be ~24 undergrad degrees a year.
and while Stanford does not offer a sports management degree there are courses at the GSB
