School Recommendation(s)
12 replies
This question thread is a similar to Danny's as it has to do with majors and school. Do you guys know the best schools for business sports management? I want to take this a step further for those whose majored in this or its their current major and ask what classes do you recommend? I'm interested in writing articles/columns or just about anything football related.

I don't know about sports management but you could do a major in business or maybe sports training.
I think there's someone on here who has worked for professional teams before but I can't remember her user name but I have her on facebook.
Want me to ask her where she went?
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
VendigosubscriberIf you don't mind me asking, if you're interested in writing, why do you want to go business sports?
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only reason for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless.

I figured I'm going to write when if I was to major in that?

Thanks but no thanks. I'm not too interesting in sports training. :)

I dunno about the US but when you major in sports business/marketing over here the stuff you write is of the mindboggingly boring PR sort - if you write anything at all. Or do you mean in terms of academic papers?

Ooo. What I was basically thinking is that I want to do anything involved with football. I'd love to work with the draft and that's where I got the writing part from - writing scouting reports.

I see. You might want to send Simon a PN and see if he can get you in touch with someone who knows how to best pursue such a career. Or why don't you contact the resident NFL scout? He's bound to know a thing or two about how to get into the business. Also, I'd just drop guys like Lombardi at the National Football Post a mail and simply ask away.

Thanks. That was my plan, to get in touch with Simon and Tim. I've spoken to Lombardi a few times in the past - he's no help. All one-liners.
anlgpNew MemberI have PMed with GRT8 and he was responsive I'd definitely try that route.

VendigosubscriberOh, and check out George Mason University in Virginia. I happen to know that they have a sport management program with Charley Casserley as one of its instructors.
