Sport Management Master's/Ph.D. or J.D.?

<p>Hello, I am a Junior undergrad with a Sport Management major and minors in Business Administration, Political Science, and American Studies, and I am weighing my future academic/career options. First of all, I love the field of Sport Management. I have been lucky enough to have great practical experience in this field. My decision is whether to continue my studies beyond undergrad with a J.D. or a Master's/Ph.D. in Sport Management. My career goal is to work in the sports industry for 10-15 years and then become a sports management/law professor. Up until recently, I was pretty dead set on the 5-year Master's/Pd.D. route. However, I have been reconsidering the prospects of going to law school since I found out that I did exceptionally well on my 400-level Constitutional Law exams. I have also discovered that many of the top dogs in the sports industry have law degrees, but I am unsure as to whether the J.D. or the Ph.D. would be the best route. Also, I have pretty much ruled out being a sport agent based on the unethical practices necessary to succeed. I am looking more towards becoming an athletics director at a D-II or D-III school or maybe even a G.M. in professional athletics (NFL/NBA) and then working as a professor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
