The Sport and Entertainment Management Department at the University of South Carolina prepares undergraduate and graduate students for a variety of positions in the sports and entertainment industry. The University of South Carolina is unique in Sport and Entertainment Business as the first major University to create a separate department for the study of sport and entertainment in a business curriculum. The goal of the faculty and the department is to create an integrated academic learning environment for analyzing and resolving the challenges in the business of sport and entertainment. The faculty and staff are committed to providing support for student achievement. Students can enter the industry with exceptional knowledge, professional preparation, a strong alumni network, and the confidence to assume leadership positions. Sport and Entertainment is a growing sector in the global economy and the opportunity for success is limited only by our imagination.

NFL’s Top Lobbyist visits HRSM  

“You may not be interested in Congress, but Congress is interested in you.”
– Martin B. Gold  

Where sports and Congress meet – that’s where you’ll find Mr. Martin Gold. In the 1990’s when the NFL successfully helped block state-sponsored sports gambling, Martin Gold was there. In 2011 when the NFL successfully avoided a work stoppage in America’s most popular sport, Martin Gold was there. And when the first phone rang recently for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell calling about the New Orleans Saints “bounty program” and the issue of player safety, Martin Gold was most certainly there.
