HUNTER O’MAHONY THE “CABLE GUY”
ESPN3 recently broadcast a double header at NSU and Hunter O’Mahony was asked to as-
sist. He is pictured above handling the cable for the floor cameraman. Hunter had plenty of
experience last fall while doing an internship for Fox Sports Florida. That was not the only
thing that Hunter did while assisting the Fox crew at Marlins, HEAT and Panthers games.
According to Fox Sports Florida Coordinating Producer and MBA Sport Revenue Generation
Advisory Board member John Valek, Hunter assisted in setting up shoots and features on re-
mote for the Networks programming and live pre-game shows. At HEAT and Panthers
games he served as a runner and utility assistant.

Job Title: Sports Marketing Research Intern
Hours: 10-15 hours/week
Location: Downtown Fort Lauderdale/Huizenga School of Business
Salary: Unpaid Internship
Description of Internship:
The purpose of this internship is to provide students with hands on experience in the following areas of the
sports representation industry: 1) conducting market research and analysis, 2) performing client recruitment,
3) marketing clients to Division 1 institutions, and 4) assisting in the successful negotiation of employment
contracts. Students will work to survey and analyze the resumes of approximately 250 Mid-Major NCAA Di-
vision 1 Men's Basketball head coaches to uncover objective hiring practices at this level of competition. In
reviewing the resumes of active coaches at this level, they will break down the data and be able to state the
percentages and probabilities of coaches with similar resumes being hired. With this data, they will assist in
contacting and recruiting potential clients for representation.
Currently, Deuces Wild Sports & Entertainment, LLC represents coaches in this market. Students will then
assist in developing marketing strategies to obtain interviews and placement for my current clients. Finally,
students will be participating in contract negotiations that we anticipate will occur in March and April as the
basketball season ends. In addition to this, students will also be developing and conducting social media mar-
keting.

Knowledge of professional and collegiate basketball
Critical thinking and problem solving
Data analysis
Attention to detail
Superior communication skills and ability to work within a team

ule to [email protected].

FRESHMAN CHAD WRIGHT
GAINS EXPERIENCE
We love to hear from our students who take advantage of opportunities posted in the newsletter. Here is part of an email from SPT freshman Chad Wright: “I have a job with the Panthers. I work in the team store as a sales rep. Shortly after the interview I did with you in the fall 2015 se-mester I was hired. So far I am loving this job. This is the first job I've ever had that I actual-ly enjoy coming to work. I would like to thank you for sending out those newsletters be-cause without that I would've never found this job. It is cool to be able to come to the games and see the atmosphere and excite-ment around the team. It is something I will never forget.”
