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 Cortland Sport Management Club runs the sport management department's 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.
