I have a major in Sports Management. It can cover jobs such as being a Sports Agent, General Manager, basically anything that has to do with management of players and teams. It is a rough start though. Luckily I knew an agent that got me introduced me to some players. I went into baseball for an agent, but could have went into football, basketball, etc. Very good pay, if you can manage to get past the rough start. I also went 4 years of college and 2 years of law school which helped. Good luck in what ever you major in.
