<p>One of the things that I find interesting with sports mgmt programs - and this is in agreement with what you just wrote about sports mgmt programs not being able to decide what they are - is that some schools have it in the business school, some in kinesiology and some in education. What I like about the Elon program is that by calling it leisure and sports mgmt - it broadens the focus and includes not just sports but also tourism and recreation. Oh - by the way - I just saw that Elon has moved LSM from Education to the Communications School - what was I just saying about not knowing where to put it?</p>
<p>It has also been re-named - the major is now Sports and Event Management. I read the explanation of why it was relocated - and it makes sense - it fits with Communication better than Education certainly - I also think the program will benefit from being included in Elon’s well-regarded School of Communication.</p>
