Episode 51 (S2: E2): Academic Roundtable-A Discussion With Sport Management Leaders

Wait…What? welcomes three leading educators from three of the most prestigious sport management programs in America. Lisa Delpy Neirotti of George Washington University, David Hedlund of St. John’s, and Will Norton of the Isenberg School at UMass join the podcast to talk about sport management as an academic discipline. The distinguished group talks about the importance of real-world experience to the educational journey, the changes they’ve seen in sport management and their respective paths to academia. While all three bring a unique perspective, they also share a lot of the same views on things like networking, hard work and flexibility.

DP & McGhee start the show by talking about something they haven’t really covered before, namely combat sports and the changes on the horizon at WWE, PFL, and potentially UFC.
