<p>You work? Don’t you have a supervisor that you could get a LOR from? Worst case scenario, get a crappy letter of recommendation from a professor who taught a course in your department. Perhaps it can be one for whom you wrote a paper, just remind the prof about the paper you wrote, explain how much you loved his course and tell him that you want to go on to further studying in his area. Brownparent’s comments are irrelevant in many fields as “milking you for money” is something that happens to undergrads and “a grad degree is not important to succeed” is monumentally bad advice in nearly all technical fields where a grad degree is a de facto ticket to play. I don’t know how different sports management is from other business tracks but if it is anything like business administration, you will probably need some work experience before returning to grad school (for an MBA).</p>
