College Search & Selection

<p>I'm currently planning to become a sports agent and I was curious what schools would be the best for this?</p>

<p>I've heard that it's very hard to get into this field and that you need connections. What schools can I go to that will have these connections?</p>

<p>What would be the best major for this career path?</p>

<ul>
<li><p>My stats: 3.65 uw and 4.0 w GPA (no AP classes just honors classes)</p></li>
<li><p>SAT: 1150 (math/cr) - I will be taking this again in about 2 months and this time I'm going to study. I just wanted to get a feel of where I was without studying when I took it the first time.</p></li>
<li><p>I have no EC's but I have 4 years of work experience at a doctor's office and an insurance company.</p></li>
<li><p>I'm from NY</p></li>
</ul>

<p>The two schools that I have in mind are ASU and SDSU since both have a good business program and good sports programs (ASU has both football and baseball while SDSU has baseball).</p>

<p>Well, it is my understanding that you will need to go to law school in order to become a sports agent. That may be incorrect. If I am, however, you should go to any school you like and can reasonably afford. This will allow you to get the high GPA needed for top law school admissions.</p>

<p>Good luck in your search!</p>

<p>You don't need to go to law school to be a sports agent, but it is highly recommended. I do plan on going to law school though.</p>

<p>Justin! What's up? I just went on centsportdailypicks and no one was on :(</p>

<p>Just look for the schools that are good for the majors needed to be a Sports Agent such as marketing, sports management, management, etc. </p>

<p>If I were you I would also look up profiles of sports agents and see what schools they went to.</p>

<p>I know someone who wants to get into sports management and he attends Michigan State.</p>

<p>A sports agent spoke at our school. He majored in PoliSci and went to law school, but said his peers came from many paths. The key was to relate to athletes and be well rounded - you're their negotiator, adviser, PR and babysitter. It's tough to break in. The best way is to know and be trusted by athletes.
There's any number of schools you could attend and any number of majors you could pursue.</p>

<p>a J.D from Harvard Law will get you 95% of sports jobs.</p>

<p>Th BEST way to land a SM job is to play the sport at a professional level.</p>

<p>Umass Amherst and the University of Miami has one of the best sport managment programs in the country. But honstly, if you major in any bussiness discpline (mangment, accounting etc) you should be fine. As long as you get that J.D in Sports Law. Oh yea Duke Law School is the BEST (way better then Harvard law in that area if Harvard even has a sports and entertainment law) for Sports and Entertainment law, just ask ESPN and Drew Rosenhaus.</p>

<p>Well I looked at Drew Rosenhaus' wiki page and read that a good amount of his clients came from college connections. He attended University of Miami and 16 of his clients are alumni from University of Miami.</p>

<p>Also, since looking into this more I have read that you need a lot of money to enter into this field, does anyone know if that's true?</p>
