This is correct, 2004 or 2005 they no longer allowed freshman to enter the program.

04 was my last year, and they never said anything about it. That kinda sucks.

It is now Health & Fitness Management, which i have a degree in.

I believe that Loras College in Dubuque is the only college/university to offer sports management in the state of Iowa.

Wartburg does.

I chose sport management cause it was the only thing I was interested in.(started in Finance). I wanted Criminal Justice, but they only offered it as a minor at the time.

My bad, guess I was wrong.

Just got the degree in the spring, so still searching some options. My cousin had the same degree at a community college and landed a head operation of ticket sales with the Arkansas Naturals baseball team back in 06.

My option was either manage a gym for 30k a year or go work construction. I like the outdoors and the money so heavy equipment was my thing.

ISU offers Health and Fitness MGMT, which is probably about the same as Sports MGMT. At ISU, it used to be called Exercise Science, but I believe they changed it a few years ago to health and fitness mgmt. All three are about the same and can get you pretty much all the same types of jobs.
Pretty much anything in Kinesiology and Health major will yield the same types of jobs, except Athletic Training and Pre Physical Therapy. Those two will lead you into the field as what they are called. I might be missing some K & H options, though.

There is still an Exercise Science option...also Community and Public Health, and PhysEd.

Is there really? When I was there they took it away and combined it with the Health and Fitness mgmt option, maybe they brought it back within the last couple of years? Or, maybe I'm just completely wrong and showed up to all of my advisor visits drunk or hungover...

EDIT: Oh wow, I just went and looked at the options for Kinesiology and Health and they definitely added about 4 Exercise Science options within the last couple of years... I'd imagine combining Exercise Science and Health and Fitness MGMT was just way too broad.
