BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME
"UConn's Sport Business Association offered me an unbelievable opportunity to visit the world famous Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass for free! Home to some of the most unique memorabilia and tidbits of basketball history the Hall of Fame is "must see" for any basketball junkie. I'm thankful for the SBA for this opportunity and look forward to more trips in the future!"- John Devecchis, '18
"Going to the Naismith National Basketball Hall of Fame with SBA was an awesome experience. Seeing so many parts of basketball history, specifically UConn basketball history was great. We hope to have many more successful trips in the future!" - Christos Schwarz, '18
FOX SPORTS HEADQUARTERS
"Marcus from Fox Sports invited his colleagues and boss to talk about their day to day work and their experience that got them to their current position. All my questions were answered. Really learned lots of things about what the partnership team at Fox Sports does. Great networking opportunity for us as well." - Jeff Ye, '19
"I had an excellent time at Fox Sports last week. Marcus and his colleagues were extremely helpful and offered valuable insight into their perspective fields to students like myself interested in working in after leaving UConn. I really appreciated my time spent there and am looking to connecting with Marcus and his colleagues again in the near future." - Kevin Alwell, '20
ESPN HEADQUARTERS
"Visiting the ESPN Bristol Studios was a fantastic opportunity to see the inner workings of the largest Sports Broadcasting channel in the country. I had an excellent time touring the sets and learning more about how each show is put together. I am definitely looking forward to returning to Bristol sometime in the near future for another tour." - Kevin Alwell, '20
