As if ‘Deflategate’ hasn’t gotten ridiculous enough, the University of New Hampshire is going to be offering an intro course on the debacle this Fall. Seriously.
According to the UNH course schedule for Fall 2015, students will be able to take a course on the controversy, learning how it relates to law and journalism.
This course is not about deflated footballs. Instead, it is about the interplay between those footballs — along with numerous other sports things — and the legal, regulatory and journalistic systems governing sports. Students in Deflategate learn about crucial areas of law that relate to sports and the methodologies used to practice in relevant fields. Students also gain valuable instruction on core journalism methods and their applications to a sports story attracting national headlines. The course concludes with an application ot methodologies in law and journalism to Deflategate.
I mean, sure why not? It’s highly likely that this class is going to fill up immediately, so if you go to UNH make sure to register as soon as possible.
