The publication also features faculty commentary on Twitter’s impact on sport leadership and organizational control, along with SMSA updates covering the 08-09 activities and planning for the upcoming pizza-and-bowling kickoff and Shock Cancer Walk.","THE SPORT MANAGER  \nSummer 2 0 0 9 Volume 1 1 , Issue 1  \nThe Department of Sport Management  \nWSU Recognized as COSMA Candidate for Accreditation  \nWichita State is among the first institutions in the world to be granted candidacy status with the new Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA) . The COSMA debuted as anew accreditation body for sport management in 2008, and to date, only nine universities including WSU, have been awarded candidacy status.  \nWhile those schools have been recognized as candidates by the COSMA, none have undergone full review yet. Accreditation through the COSMA provides external verification of a quality sport management program and serves as evidence that a sport management program is committed to continuous improvement.  \nIn order to be awarded candidate status, WSU was required to file an application with the COSMA that included information regarding the bachelor and master programs‟ mission, their requirements, their assessment systems and the faculty‟s qualifications. Having achieved candidate status, WSU will undergo a review process that will culminate with an on-campus visit from a COSMA review team. A timeline for the review has yet to be established.  \nWSU has long been recognized as having topcaliber sport management programs. Both the bachelor‟s and master‟s programs were certified as approved in 2000 by the now-defunct Sport Management Program Review Council (SMPRC) . Fewer than 25 programs were so recognized at both levels during the SMPRC‟s existence.  \nFaculty Perspectives:  \nGreen, Gold, and Tweets…no longer  \nby Dr. Mark Vermillion  \nFor those of you that know me, you know that I have a disdain for anything technological. The new bane of my existence is Twitter. Additionally, I am a dyed-in-the-wool Green Bay Packer fan. These two immutable forces have just collided.  \nIt was recently reported that the Packers will be fining players for using Twitter during official team functions. Following the US Military, which may ban Twitter and Facebook, the Packers will be restricting employees’ usage of the networking site. What’s the fine? Well, the overwhelming fine is $1,701, precisely.  \nWhat becomes interesting about this topic for sport management students is the contextual environment. It involves the legal, PR, and social aspects of sport and how far “leadership” can exert influence over subordinates. Most NFL players can readily afford the $1,701 fine, but the question becomes: What point does the corporate/organization have control over the subordinates or employees.  \nDo I really care what Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, or Atari Bigby do during practice? No. But, I think it becomes something of interest to sport managers because you all will be both affected by a policy like this, or part of instituting a policy like this within an organization.  \nFor a franchise that is celebrating its 90th year in existence they have “seen”many changes within the workplace involving leadership, issues, and subordinates. What will the future, regarding this issue, hold? I don’t know, but I will keep you updated with my hourly tweets. (Just kidding, of course, I don’t tweet   )  \nINSIDE THIS ISSUE  \nWSU Recognized as COSMA Candidate for Accreditation 1  \nGreen, Gold, and Tweets…no longer 1  \nSMSA 2  \nWSU Interns Key to Wild‟s Franchise Award 2  \nJessica Varlack 3  \nAlumni Update 4  \nSMSA  \nBy Caleb Klein, SMSA President  \nThe Sports Management Student Association (SMSA) saw an exciting year in ‟08-‟09 with events such as cookouts, bowling, prominent speakers, and a great road trip to Oklahoma City to take-in the newly relocated, Oklahoma City Thunder. The coming year for SMSA will build upon last year‟s successes, and add an inaugural event that everybody can be proud to participate in. After the great leadership that SMSA experienced this last year, the new officers are looking to meet that dedication and leadership, and push it higher.
