What kind of f***ing major is “sports management”? Seriously, our education system must be the laughingstock of the rest of the world.

I know a 20something who graduated from here with the same degree. She worked for Michael Jordan's minor league team for a bit for pennies and tons of hours. Moved away and had a similar job for another "minor league" team of some sort. Gave up the crap jobs and got an accelerated master's in nursing, now working great hours in a fertility practice in the DC area. Liked the school well enough...

Sports is a multibillion dollar industry. Of course, that degree will get you nowhere because teams are hiring from Harvard and MIT

For sports management the place to go is Rice. Mostly because if all else fails and they make zilch in that profession, they have a degree from Rice to fall back on.

The place is MIT. Getting hired as a quant is far easier than getting hired with a vague management degree.

Jiminy Christmas. None of these responses remotely answer the OP’s question. I don’t have any direct experience with this program but hopefully someone will chime in with information. I clicked because my son is potentially interested in South Carolina.

The answer is that there are no prominent graduates of the program managing any teams or athletic departments.

Students at UofSC help plan, run, work the Masters and all of their football games.

It’s called sports management but it’s Sports event mgmt, it’s basically Business mgmt with an event mgmt focus.

People also go on to run stuff like the Anthem in DC, meriweather, wolf trap etc…. As well as Verizon center aka cap 1 arena.

It is in fact the envy of the entire world. I work for an international company and hire all over. US college grads are by far the best. Non-Americans who go to US colleges are also way ahead.

Some advice on that major though -- could you be a business major and minor in sports management? Do your internships in sports? That would be better.
