What is IB's outlook on a sport management degree?

How does just a sport management degree appear on an ib job application? What about sports management and a minor in business, or sport management and a minor in computer science?

 

Sports management would probably be seen as an "easier" degree compared to finance, and you'd have to often explain 1. why sports management degree, and 2. why IB.

The minors may help, but you'd still need a great answer to those two questions. If you play D1 athletics that would be a great tie-in, but otherwise I think that would be a less preferred major.

Thanks for all the responses. To those wondering, no I'm am not planning to pursue a degree in sports management. I am only asking about it because I have been researching about what clubs that I could potentially join (I am an incoming freshman at my university), and came across a sports business club, which contained mostly sports management majors. Some of the members had analyst internships under their belts, and thus, I felt inclined to ask about the major on WSO.
