Next time someone says we put too much emphasis on sports in this country, inform them that in ancient Greece, wars were forbidden during the Olympic games — thereby changing the course of history. In large part, we can thank the early Olympic organizers for that. As some of the world’s first sports managers, they did more than pull the games together. Their efforts affected the whole of society — socially, economically, even politically. Today’s sports managers do the same. If this illustrious career is for you, there’s no better place to study than the University of New Haven — a pioneer in sports management degrees.
