Cortland Sport Management Club
The sport management club at the State University of New York College at Cortland, whose members are 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 opportunities to work at and run sports-related events, travel on educational field trips to sports venues and gain industry experience with their peers.
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 Annual Sport Management Conference 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." The Cortaca Jug t-shirt sales proceeds go to the Dolores "Dee" Bogard Scholarship.
Club members have traveled to New York, Buffalo, Toronto, Syracuse, Philadelphia and Cooperstown for behind-the-scenes tours of sport facilities. The Club Officers are elected by the students each year, and the organization holds open meetings on campus each week. The club goes on educational outings to stadiums and sports landmarks such as:
- National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY
- HSBC Arena in Buffalo, NY
- Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario
- Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY
- Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, NY
- Alliance Bank Stadium in Syracuse, NY
- Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, NY
- Fenway Park in Boston, MA

Famous quotes containing the words sport, management and/or club:
“Drag racing is a sport of egos, and it’s all male egos.”
—Shirley “Cha Cha” Muldowney (b. 1940)
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
