Sports Business

Practice Description

The sports world has evolved into a complex, multibillion dollar business involving a host of players— from athletes and agents to stadium owners and corporate sponsors. No longer a simple recreational pastime operated by “mom and pop” organizations the industry is experiencing explosive growth and constant change. Sports businesses require leaders with the ability to juggle myriad day-to-day tasks while focusing on long-term strategy.
