Your degree doesn't matter. There are a few degrees at some colleges, not many, that are Sports Sales Specific. Baylor has one of the best. They get real life sports sales experience internships with major league teams. A sport admin degree does nothing more than any other degree. Learn how to sell sports and you will be fine.

Obviously experience trumps everything. For an entry level job, a sport admin degree is going to look better than anything else, all things being equal.
This is coming from someone with a sport admin degree. I've worked for a soccer club in London, an NBA team, and a CUSA athletic department. It sucks starting from the bottom, especially in sales. Even worse if your team is shitty. The sports field isn't all it's cracked up to be.
If I could do it all over, I'd probably get a business degree and give up all my summers in college interning with different programs. Then, I'd get my MBA.
