Numbers Matter…But in Athletics, they really matter!

87% of athletes at division III schools graduate from college. Approximately 2% of college athletes go onto pro sports…

Men's basketball: 1.2 percent Women's basketball: 1.9 percent Men's soccer: 1.9 percent

If you’re not in the 2% going pro…..then position yourself against the remaining 98% to secure the professional career that you want.

Employers within multiple career fields in the professional sports industry struggle to secure graduates – These same hiring managers reiterate growing and unfilled opportunities for graduates with a business degree in sports related careers.
