My recommendation would be to call the teams you're interested in to see when they typically hire, and what information they usually look for in the hiring process. This gives you the information you need when it's time to…"

Well, I am in my senior year of the Sport Management Program at West Virginia University and should be graduating in May. I am entering a dilemma on whether to go to graduate school or not, my main influence being that I have yet to add anything more credible than local recreation and some WVU athletic volunteering experiences to my resume. I have applied for many internships with local professional teams and have yet to hear anything back, so I feel like I need to make my self more marketable… Continue

Like every program, there were some things that I really enjoyed about WVU and some that I didn't. For me, the most valuable experiences and lessons were learned through my GA job. I learned waaaaaaaaaay more by working every day than I did in the classroom there. If you can get yourself hooked up with a good GA position, then I think you'll really have a good experience.
