1. Washington Wizards: I am interested in the Wizards because in my time interning for the organization, I have learned how well the organization is. Additionally, I would love to eventually work for an NBA organization in basketball operations, and I feel I am learning a great deal from my internship.
a. Brett Greenberg: I chose Brett because I have worked closely with him in my time interning for the Wizards. I have already developed a strong relationship with him, and he has a very important position within the basketball operations department. Hopefully, I will be able to learn more from him.

The Topps Company: I chose Topps because their cards in baseball, football, basketball, and hockey are the most popular in their industry. It would be a different type of entry into the sports industry, but it’s something that interests me greatly as I used to collect trading cards.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars have a relatively new ownership group, so it would be very interesting to work for an organization that is evolving in nature. The ownership group has upgraded their stadium and has expanded the team’s global reach by agreeing to a deal to play in London once a year. Thus, the opportunity for global partnerships should grow as a result.
a. Jeff Lesser: I chose Mr. Lesser because he is the director of corporate partnerships, and it would be interesting to see how the team’s contract to play in London has affected corporate partnerships. I would also like to learn the differences in working for NBA and NFL teams
