Sample Jobs – Industry Overview – Job Profiles
College athletics
has been growing rapidly in the last decade. It now represents
a major portion of the sports industry. Almost every
college campus (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, etc) has an athletic department, and there are over 3000 colleges and universities in the U.S.
Athletic departments might have numerous departments such as
marketing, public relations, tickets, sports information, facilities management, equipment, student-athlete affairs,
alumni support & fundraising, and many more. Athletic departments are responsible for

platforms. Women are slowly, but surely moving into NCAA
Division I athletic director roles.
