What are some of the best colleges for...?

Question

I'm starting to look at colleges and I want to get into NBA management (ie. scout/general manager) and so on. I figure my best majors would be business and sports management (if I'm wrong let me know also). What schools have the best business/sports management programs? Im not looking for the programs that all the football players go into, im looking at serious programs. I have a 4.0 GPA right now and am looking for a challenging/respected program. Schools I like right now are UCLA, stanford, UVA, Maryland, and Florida but I'm open to suggestions. thanks.

Answer 1

I would say The University of Kentucky,UCLA,stanford..maybe California,louisville...thats all i got

good luck

Answer 2

I'd like to get in NBA Management too, but am unsure of the avenues of opportunity.

Establish the necessary connections and know the business.  I think having an eye for talent and having an understanding of recent past and overall history don't hurt either.  Study what has worked, which is a rule of thumb for any sort of successful business management regardless of what the business (be it sports or any other industry).  

I'd probably pick a school that has some alumni connections to a professional NBA team, or go to school that is geographically close to an NBA team to at least get your foot in the door.  

I'm not in the biz and chances are the people who answer this question don't either.  If you crack the barrier, give me a call.
