As was noted above, some schools offer a degree in sports management or athletic administration, but I would suggest instead that you go for a degree in finance or management at a decent business school in a big city such as NY, Chicago, or LA, and try to get an internship or a part-time job in a firm that handles sports agents work. Also, it probably wouldn't hurt to go to law school. Good luck.

A lot of sport agents are either retired athletes or lawyers. If you look at the star sports agents most of them have either played amateur or pro or have a law degree. For example Scott Boras is a famous baseball sports agent and he has a law degree. Another example is Drew Rosenhaus who has a law degree from Duke. I recommend going to a fairly well known college and when I say fairly well know I mean a state college and not a community college. Take the basic courses such as economics, english, some math and then try and get into law school if you can. Because if your career as a sports agent fails you always have your law degree to back you up.

Business Administration is probably the major you want to look at. Some schools do offer sports management programs, but a business degree would work just as well. An MBA would be a great addition to your resume if you are thinking about going to grad school.

There are actually some schools that offer a major called Sports Management. Do a yahoo! search.

Business course, esp. finance and strategy, then go to law school so that you understand contract law.
