freds,
Thanks for the post. That list is good for the most part, though Mays, Owen and Carroll are stretches with your current score. What have you done around sports in the past? That is one question they will be looking for you to answer to prove you can succeed in the career change. If you would like help with your applications, send me a note: [email protected]
Best,
Scott

freds,
Your international background (Germany, Qatar) and managerial experience at a 'branded' firm are good assets for you. If you could raise your GMAT score you might be able to aim for better ranked schools. IMO, Penn State, Wisconsin and Vanderbilt are the strongest programs in your list. Reach out if you'd like further guidance: [email protected].
