It’s better to learn the bad news as soon as possible. Sports writing is a viable career for only a very few people. Virtually all areas of journalism are shrinking in employment due to media consolidation and the alternative of the internet. More journalists are laid off daily than are hired and there are enough experienced unemployed sports writers to fill any available jobs.
In any event, the few colleges which still teach journalism generally do so as a general program, rather than separating it into different categories. The techniques are the same for all categories.
The University of Missouri at Columbia has what is probably the best journalism program in the US.
However, I strongly suggest that you consider another career.
Northwestern
U Missouri Columbia
IU Bloomington
