<p>Cornell’s ILR Sports Management Club ([Cornell</a> Student Activities Office - 2009-2010 - ILR Sports Management Club](<a href=“http://sao.cornell.edu/SO/org/09-10/546]Cornell”>http://sao.cornell.edu/SO/org/09-10/546)) hosted a meeting with the NHL commissioner who is an ILRie. ILR also has a sports-related class that may be of interest. I have a friend in AEM who also wants to be a sports agent and took this class:</p>
<p>ILRCB 4030: The Economics of Collective Bargaining in Sports 4.0 HRS LET ONLY
7729 LEC 001 TR 1010-1125A IVS 112 L. Kahn
Surveys economic and industrial issues in the sports industry. Topics include salary determination, including free agency, salary caps, salary arbitration; competitive balance and financial health of sports leagues; antitrust issues in sports; labor disputes, union history, and contract administration issues in sports leagues; discrimination in sports; and performance incentives.</p>
<p>To answer your question, I’m not entirely sure if ILR would be the best fit for such a career path, but with regards to sports management, those are the only two things I’m aware of. I think that sports management is a pretty broad career choice and I don’t think any one major would be the best choice. With that said, ILR has the above resources and with the Cornell name you can really go into anything. Besides maybe the Hotel School and AEM, I don’t think sports management would fall into any other school well enough. Best of luck.</p>
<p><em>Edit</em>
Also note that the above course is an elective course so no matter what major you choose, as long as you have extra general elective credits, I’m sure you can take this course in ILR.</p>
