Need advice on accompanying minor

This is a question about minors rather than majors, but this seemed like the most relevant place to post. I’m dual majoring Sports and Media Studies with Business Management, both at W.P. Carey at ASU. I’m torn between minoring in Math or Statistics. I’m on pace to complete all of these in the standard four years provided I take a couple summer classes at the CC, 9 semesters at most. Tuition money is no object in my situation, and I’m fairly good at math. A mathy minor isn’t going to hit my GPA too hard if at all. The plan is find a top 100 law school that both suits me and pays me full tution(Preferably ASU) and get a JD in Business Law, sports and business if possible (It is at ASU).

So to the point, is there really any difference between Stats and Math when it’s only a minor? Is the difference irrelevant in terms of job prospects when paired with a Management degree? ARE there more job prospects with them than without them? (I understand the sports major is probably irrelevant if I’m not working in sports)

My pipe dream is to become the Athletic Director at a D1 school, secondary career goal is to work in educational administration at the secondary/post-secondary level.

Before anyone says anything, ASU is my prime choice because

1. It’s in state and cheaper

2. My housing is free until I decide i’m done with school (Parents)

3. Sandra Day O’Connor is high enough ranked for me (#26)

4. It offers the JD specialization that I would want to pursue

5. I’m a die hard Devil for life with no shame

I can be talked into or out of either. This is something that I want, but I could accept the fact that they’d be a waste of time and focus in on my Majors and GPA. This just isn’t a discussion that I could find elsewhere that didn’t involve masters level math/stats.

Thanks guys!
