Default Undergraduate Business Major

I am a soph at UMD and on the business track. Since junior year is coming up I am forced to choose my major. I am currently in a business management program in the school of agriculture resource and economics. At the end of the year I am thinking about applying to the Smith School of Business and my area of interest is marketing (not interested in hearing views on marketing). I also have a concentration in sports commerce and culture and plan to get masters in Sports Management and possibly MBA in marketing.

The difference between the two programs:
Current: I have to take 4 classes I would take in Smith (Finance, Marketing, Business Law, and Management) along with 7 Economics of agriculture classes, 1 more elective, and intro probability. 13 classes total.

Smith: 4 from the current + 3 more. 6 Marketing classes, mandatory junior english (placed out of current major bc I got an A in freshman english), 1 more econ, and 2 extra elective. 19 Classes total.

I'm beginning to realize a few things. The business school at Maryland is not that great, undergraduate major is not that important, and why work my ass off when I can chill and get decent grades.

What do you suggest I do in choosing between these two programs?

Cliff Notes: I am debating between working really hard for an undergraduate business school or working moderately in a different type of business major.
