The current “studies” major for jocks is “University Studies” where the academics are highly tailored to maintaining eligibility. On the basketball side, where the “one-and-done” is all the rage, the player only needs to stay eligible for one semester in the fall because the season will be over and the athlete off to pro ball before grades push him off the roster.
