A Sports Management degree guarantees you absolutely nothing. If you don't have a good job currently, and you think dropping 40k for this certificate means the end to your troubles, you're badly mistaken.
Schools will barely look at you (the good schools/programs) unless you have current experience. For example, in the program I finished, I was alongside several people in their late 20's who had already put in 3-4 years at Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour.
Lastly, the market in sports right now is in the shitter. Plain and simple. It's not about what you have to offer (education) it's about who's ass you kissed best and what experience (previous work) you can offer.

Amen brother! Couldn't have said it any better than that. The sports field whether if you want to be a coach, agent, scout, front office, is all politics. It's all about who you know, whose ass you kiss, and not your talent. Trust me! I tried for four years to break into the biz and I have an impressive resume in my opinion and no dice. That's why I am now a full-time professional gambler and I just coach high school football for fun. A masters means nothing in the sports business world. It's a waste of time and money.
yes, im aware of this. i have 2 years experience with radio/color commentating. have my own radio show and i do color commentating as well. not bad for a youngster. also in a great americorps program at my college. i also have great connections through my sports business club at my school. i have a plan, trust me, i have got "my feet wet" already. also i just applied for a paid internship with the sacramento rivercats(oakland a's triple a team) with their promotions or inside sales department, and will hear back soon from them. and for the sports management program for masters, that i want to do, it is CRUCIAL and an amazing degree to have for what i want to do. i have done my research, and the sports business world looks specifically at the graduate degree i am trying to achieve at the certain university i want to attend for my masters, as it is 1 of 5 schools in my state that offer the degree. my marketing teacher used to be in the sports business and has a bunch of solid contacts. i have a plan and i know what i'm doing, i just need that damn $40k

two words
STUDENT LOAN
i have 2 MA degrees and paid for them with loans and hard work. stop looking for a handout, man up, and handle your own shit. a masters doesnt mean shit if you dont have integrity, drive, or accountability. paying your own way is the best way to learn. :grandmais
