Take your time, give yourself the opportunity to learn the information well, and skip an aviation related degree...you won't need it for any pilot job, corporate or airline. Instead, get a degree that you can use as a back up in case you need to supplement your income later during downturns in the industry.
Well if he is coming out of professional baseball, I doubt he will be needing loans. I just graduated with an aviation degree and right now agree with Airmet, I feel as though it is somewhat useless. Don't get me wrong I learned a whole lot but in the end, it really doesn't matter as much as your total time, who you know and the economy.
