Having been 30 years since college, why is Econ major so popular with scholarship athletes?
Maybe the initial responses are from parents of top academic kids. I’m sure it is where the same posters mention teammates majoring in engineering. Economics is not an easy major. It was my major because I found math easy. My concentration was quantitative analysis. It was essentially calculus. My son chose it for the same reason. At his college it was called quantitative analytics. Buc’s response is another reason. It’s as close to business/finance as you get at a liberal arts college.

I would also add that there are generally no labs required in Econ!
