<p>I am interested in becoming part of a marketing staff for a sports franchise, or hopefully one day be a general manager for a team. but anyway I want to work for a sports franchise.<br>
What major should i focus on? Marketing, Sports Management, finance?
And what schools are the top schools to go to in terms of connections, alumni, career services to help get a job in this sort of career quick?(Within 5 years after graduation)</p>
<p>I know no school can secure me a job, but what schools get you the most ready, and such for this career?
Ive heard Bowling Green State university, Ohio University, UMASS, UO,..etc.</p>
<p>I applied to BGSU and OU, adn have gotten into BGSU already and waiting on OU.</p>
<p>Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>my only advice for you is to not major in something with “sports” in its name, just because you want to go into sports management. The major leads to a dead end 99% of the time.</p>
<p>I think Syracuse and/or UMich is good for Sports Management. A friend of mine is really serious about applying for that, and I know he applied to both of those.</p>
<p>Agreed with with Seahawks. General consensus is that Sports Management is a great degree to seek. Not necessarily because it’s a bad major, but because there’s a small market for the degree and you may be limiting yourself to a small number of jobs.</p>
<p>You’re better off going with something like finance, marketing, or business management, as they’ll give you more opportunities- both inside the sports world and outside of it. Getting involved with a sports franchise is much more about knowing the right people and snagging an internship, not about having a “sports management” degree.</p>
<p>Can’t really help with your other questions though. Good luck.</p>
