The
sport management club at the State University of New York at Cortland,
which is comprised of sport management majors and minors, is the
largest student-run club on campus. Supported by the Cortland Student
Government Association, the Cortland Sport Management Club provides
students with unique opportunities to work at and run sports-related
events, travel on educational field trips to sports venues and gain
additional valuable industry experience with their peers while learning
and having fun.

The

three major events each academic year: the Wingate Memorial Golf
Tournament in September, the Madden football video gaming tournament
and the Annual Sport Management Awards Ceremony in April.
The club also designs and sells merchandise related to the annual
Cortaca Jug football game (a matchup between Cortland and Ithaca
College that was referred to by Sports Illustrated as the "Biggest
Little Game in the Country") and assists with the organization of sport management conferences, symposiums and speaker series each semester on campus.
Club
members have traveled to New York, Buffalo, Boston, Toronto, Syracuse and
Cooperstown for behind-the-scenes tours of sport facilites. To encourage
and provide students an opportunity to interact in a a social environment,
the club also hosts the Club Formal each semester. Club officers
are elected by the students each year, and the organization holds
open meetings on campus each week.
