Finally, a college course which we know every Saturday Down South reader could get an A.
Presbyterian, a small college in Clinton, S.C., has introduced a one-credit class called “The Religion of SEC Football” as part of its first-year experience courses.
Our friends over at /r/CFB tweeted a screenshot of the course description:

One of the account’s followers explained that students could not sign up for the course itself, but they sign up based on the professor, who decides the subject matter. The lesson here is that professors Nelson and Barr are the coolest professors on campus.
just an FYI- the first year experience class is non-subject. the professor instructing the subject chooses the topic.

for example, my roommate's course was entitled" how to exceed during your freshman year" while my course was "slavery in 1800"

another friend of mine was enrolled in a course entitled "the art of culinary." You sign up based on professors not subjects.

Presbyterian, which plays in the FCS, has one SEC opponent scheduled this fall, Florida on Nov. 19. Perhaps the class can take a field trip to The Swamp.
