Best Sports Management Programs

<p>He Loves it! It is also one of the best in the country and very selective. Anyone that gets in should be giving themselves a pat on the back. </p>

<p>As a parent I would highly recommend it. We are VERY pleased with the Professors involvement.</p>

<p>I was accepted into UMass for sports management, but I also received admission from Uconn sports management from the waitlist. Which school can give me a better chance of getting a job?</p>

<p>UMass by far.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any thoughts on University of Florida’s Sports Management Program?</p>

<p>I love UF, but their SM program is nothing particularly special.</p>

<p>how is ASU not mentioned? I understand the UCF program, being so closely linked with the Magic, is one of the better programs. Id like to hear from more graduates of SM programs specifically Graduate School programs.</p>

<p>Does anyone know about rice’s sports management program? Does being a top school infer having a good sports management program? Thanks for any help</p>

<p>Just kidding apparently ASU’s program was scrapped.</p>

<p>I would imagine schools in major metropolitan areas have an advantage to a wide market for internships.</p>

<p>I have been looking at sports management programs at the following colleges: San Diego State University, University of Tennessee, University of North Carolina, and North Carolina State University.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the programs are good at any of these schools and what the chances are for getting jobs/internships? Thanks for any information.</p>

<p>I visited Umass this past weekend and love the campus. Does any of you know the requirements to get into the Sports Management Program there? Also, I want to be a sports agent so I would have to do to law school for grad. But I would like to minor in pre-law. I looked and they do not have pre-law any thought or ideas?</p>

<p>Pre-law is an oxymoron. There is no prerequisite to apply to law schools.</p>

<p>Yeah but it would help for the LSAT, wouldn’t it and help me to become more advanced in becoming an agent.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I would suggest having another career goal in mind; becoming a sports agent at this time is virtually impossible. The market is dominated by several conglomerates, who really do not hire new agents. I’ve heard many times that it’s easier to become a professional athlete than an agent for professional athletes.</p>

<p>My brother is going D1 and the New Jersey Devils contacted him for the draft next year, having him as a first client could help and I know other people in the NHL.</p>

<p>What school?</p>

<p>Well right now he is playing in the EJHL and he will attend school fall of 2011</p>

<p>but the schools that contacted him are:</p>

<ul>
<li>UNH</li>
<li>UVM</li>
<li>Merrimack</li>
<li>AIC</li>
<li>Maine</li>
<li>UConn</li>
</ul>

<p>hopefully more to come</p>

<p>Does any of you know the requirements to get into the Sports Management Program at UMass? Also, I want to be a sports agent so I would have to do to law school for grad. But I would like to minor in pre-law. I looked and they do not have pre-law any thought or ideas? </p>

<p>P.S. I know I already posted that but no one answered the actual question.</p>

<p>Dude, your question was answered. There is no such academic discipline as “pre-law” Pre-law means courses you take before going to law school. You can major in Modern Dance and still go to law school. There are no courses that best prepare you for the LSAT.</p>

<p>If you want to go to law school, then you are going to have to be a lot smarter than this. If you also want to go to law school, then you are going to have to refine your research skills.</p>

<p>You want to know the requirements of UMass’ Sports Management program? Research it and look it up.</p>

<p>Also, you don’t need to be a lawyer to become a sports agent. Many sports agents are attorneys but many others are not. If you are thinking about spending $30,000 - $100,000 on a legal education, then you better get a return on your investment. Going to law school solely so you can become a sports agent isn’t smart. </p>

<p>At this stage, I don’t really think you have thought about the realities of what you want and what is possible.</p>

<p>Don’t you need to become a lawyer to be an agent because of contracts?</p>

<p>Actually, Syracuse is a good choice. It’s just the faculty that might not be worth it. Some faculty members are terrible, while some are great.</p>

<p>Unlike most small cities, there are a lot of professional sports teams that play here.
-International League’s Syracuse Chiefs (baseball)
-American Hockey League’s Syracuse Crunch (ice hockey)
-Syracuse Chargers (Rugby)
-American Basketball Association’s Syracuse ShockWave (Basketball) You might get an internship your first year at Syracuse if you attend in Fall 2011, because the team will start playing in December 2010. Not many residents know about this team, so you internships might not be competitive.</p>

<p>And Syracuse University has a huge, devoted division I sports program. We also have around a 100+ sports camps on campus, in the city, and surrounding areas, so if you like working with kids, you can volunteer or coach at these sports camps.</p>
