      <image:title>Blog - How to Become a GM - Do you have to go to an elite college?</image:title>
      <image:caption>GMs come from colleges all over the spectrum. It is a commonly held belief that the path to the top is reserved for Ivy League graduates. In reality, less than half of GMs come from a school with a less than a 15% admission rate. Almost 40% come from a school with over 50% admission. So it matters less where a student attends and much more what a student does during their time in college.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Become a GM - What is the most common major?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Once again, while there is no set path, a pattern does emerge when examining the most popular majors among current general managers. 30% majored in economics or finance. This might seem strange for a career in sports, but the biggest trend of the past 30 years has been the integration of advanced statistics and mathematics into every facet of a sports organization. The ability to understand numbers and manipulate data is a vital asset to anyone with aspiring front-office ambitions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Become a GM - How do I break into the business?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The hardest part of working in a high-demand industry like professional sports is getting that first big break. One of the most consistent patterns that emerged in the analysis of the career paths of current MLB, NFL, and NBA general managers was where they began their journey. Only a small handful started in the sports world in any sort of meaningful role. Those exceptions usually spent significant time as lawyers, agents, or corporate executives and then leveraged their connections to break into the top of an organization.  But the vast majority of GMs started as unpaid interns, low-level scouts, or part-time operations assistants.</image:caption>
