Many college students dream of playing professional sports, but most careers in the industry happen off the field.
This cutting-edge initiative will help students understand how sports organizations operate and build skills that translate directly into careers across the industry.
The program is a collaboration between the Tulane Center for Sport, Newcomb-Tulane College, Tulane Law School and the A.
The 2026 lineup of instructors includes:• Jeff Dorso, senior vice president and general counsel for the Sacramento Kings; and Dan Werly, senior vice president and chief operating officer for the Tennessee Titans, who will open the course with a three-day, 360-degree exploration of how major stadiums are planned, financed, and built.
They will also bring in high-level guest speakers, including Mike Tannenbaum (L '95), ESPN NFL front office insider, former New York Jets general manager and former Miami Dolphins executive vice president of football operations.
