16 new additions to the Athletic Department at no cost to the university. I think this is a win win for our new Athletic Director and the kids involved. Whatever they get out of these 16 is a nice boost. As stated in the Alden report, UL is grossly understaffed when it comes to their athletic department but with budget cuts it is tough to grow the size of the department. Hiring interns and putting them to work helps in two ways....One--its free work but more importantly two--if any of these guys are top notch and graduate and want to pursue a career in Athletic Management then we have a pool of kids to pull from.
I love this idea, should have been done years ago.
