[quote=Anonymous]Ok, bear with me.

My teen loves fantasy football and serving as the commissioner for his league that has existed since the boys were in 5th grade. For those of you that know fantasy football leagues, you know it's about more than just liking football. Here are the fantasy football things he excels at and loves:

- the research statistical analysis of who he should play each week (he reads others' statistical analysis, he isn't doing data analytics on his own)
- negotiating trades. He is constantly negotiating trades with other people. A lot of research goes into this re: injuries, future opponents, etc
- being the mediator between other members of the league and giving advice on good trades or not, he is very committed to running a fair league and does not play favorites. Commissioner has to approve trades and he makes sure no one is getting swindled.
- the competitive nature of it - loves to win
- he loves sports and football (does not play it, he plays other sports competitively).

He doesn't really know what he wants to study in college or do...but I think business?? This is not my world at all (liberal arts major here) so would appreciate any advice on economics, business, finance?? I hear sports management programs are not really worthwhile; is that true?[/quote]
