As the business of sports grows in scale and complexity, educated, analytical and results-oriented individuals are becoming increasingly vital to the success of the industry. Founded in 2010, the Ivy Sports Collaborative is a network comprised of student sports business clubs at all Ivy League institutions as well as Ivy League students, alumni, administrators and faculty who either work in the sports industry or are pursuing careers in the field.
We aim to promote the sports industry by supporting and fostering growth within our member clubs and affiliated organizations. The Collaborative facilitates networking and professional development among its members by providing them with access to job opportunities along with hosting networking events and presenting speaking opportunities to Ivy League alumni and faculty.
Our member clubs currently include Brown Sports Business, Columbia Sports Business Club, Cornell ILR Sports Management Club, Harvard Business School Business of Sports Club, Harvard Law School Committee on Sports and Entertainment Law, Harvard Sports Analysis Collective, Princeton Sports Business Club, Brown SportsCorps, Sports Business at Dartmouth, Dartmouth Tuck Entertainment Sports and Media Club, University of Pennsylvania Undergraduate Sports Business Club, University of Pennsylvania Wharton Sports Business Club, and Yale Undergraduate Sports Entertainment Society.

Furthermore, our annual sports business conference, the Ivy Sports Symposium, takes place during the fall of each year. Established in 2006, by Chris Chaney (Princeton ’07), the Ivy Sports Symposium is a premier annual sports business conference that rotates being held among Ivy League schools. The Symposium sets the standard for college-based sports business conferences, and provides a forum for communication and debate by facilitating interaction between students and professionals, and enabling the industry’s leaders and most successful executives to share invaluable knowledge with their peers and successors. The date and host school of the 2012 Ivy Sports Symposium will be announced soon.
