NEW YORK — ESPN and the New York City Department of Education are teaming up to create a new high school focusing on the business side of sports.
The Business of Sports School, or BOSS, will open in September with 81 ninth-grade students.
The school plans to emphasize real world skills through mandatory internships at companies like ESPN The Magazine, ABC Sports, and VitaminWater.
The school is part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s push to modernize outdated vocational or trade schools.
