Supported by the Cortland Student Government Association, the Cortland Sport Management Club provides students with opportunities to work at and run sports-related events, travel on educational field trips to sports venues and gain industry experience with their peers.
The Cortland Sport Management Club runs the sport management department's three major events each academic year: the Wingate Memorial Golf Tournament in September, the Annual Sport Management Conference and the Annual Sport Management Awards Ceremony in April. The club also designs and sells merchandise related to the annual Cortaca Jug football game, a matchup between Cortland and Ithaca College that was referred to by Sports Illustrated as the "Biggest Little Game in the Country." The Cortaca Jug T-shirt sales proceeds go to the Dolores "Dee" Bogard Scholarship.
