NFL experience on resume

I currently work in the finance department of a marquee NFL team (two years out of school). I've notice that many of the higher-ups in pro sports have MBA's or JD's from prestigious schools. I've been thinking for years about getting an MBA, maybe a JD too. Now I have another motive. I figure given the fact schools like to recruit a well-rounded class from a diverse background, and since pro sports is a really popular/unique industry that lots of people want to work in, it might make my application more attractive. Agree or disagree?

Paul43SCI don't understand. If that is where you work wouldn't it be on your resume? Why are you asking if you should put it on or not?

No, no. I'm not questioning whether or not I should put it on my resume, I'm asking whether or not the experience would make my application more attractive to a top b-school.
