Believe it or not, computer science is not considered a "core course" in the vast majority of states and high schools when considering what is and what is not a "core course" for NCAA athletic scholarship eligibility.
In 2013, Idaho and Tennessee passed legislation to allow computer science to fulfill math or science core course requirements. This is progress, slow progress, as it's hard to find a more relevant and important set of skills than computer science technology when kids are hard pressed to find employment after graduation from college.
Let's hope this trend continues at a faster pace across the country.
