To the coaches and fans the extra win is more important

To the recruit and athlete the internship is. I promise you the types of kids we’re recruiting will be impacted by their ability to have an internship

before NIL- it was a completely different ballgame for SA's on scholarship to work. I believe if you did part time work for big box stores and franchises, you could do it but for private business or anything that would have you on a camera , wasn't allowed. For reasons of NIL and booster tampering. Now, we know that most schools broke this rule all the time but I do believe it would have been an infraction. And I believe, some coaches like GS 1.0- they felt if you had time to get behind a counter at McDonalds, you could be working out or studying plays instead.

It was purely NIL. I was non-scholarship so I could work, just not in front of a camera

Uhhh, except I know for a fact that other programs allow their kids to have internships. For example, my cousin works for under armor and they have about half the Maryland football team as interns. So if they’re allowing their athletes to have internships plus beating us by 37, why the hell would anyone ever play football for Rutgers?

I don’t think this ‘no internships’ thing is true. And ya’ll know I can’t stand schiano 2.0

Where are Maryland's internships.
How long are they.
How many hours a day
My daughter is going to play D1 soccer. They are encouraged by her school to have internships. They have to be shortened(so company has to agree to it) AND it has to be at a company that has a semi pro soccer team in the area that she can play for while there. If a high academic soccer program is that rigid what do you think Big Ten football requires. Zero chance half of Maryland football team is missing spring ball or doing 8 hours days all summer long.
Want to go intern at some place during your Christmas break IF we don’t make a bowl game. Have at it. Spring break if it’s not spring ball time. Enjoy.

Congrats on finally learning that big time college sports doesn’t give two craps about the college part. Football is their job and with it without NIL they are paid quite well to do it.

Greg does allow it this time around, as did Flood and Ash. I’m talking GS 1.0
VK hits it- during 1.0 - he wanted football 7/24/365 - the good thing with Greg vs some other schools- he would allow you to take real courses for a real degree. And summer classes were a part of that.
Thanksgiving- back at campus by 10pm that night. Jobs/interns etc - why are you doing that when you can be doing training, sleeping, studying?
As I said earlier- I don’t even know how a kid that is serous about both- has time for a job. He gets 4 hours off- he is eating, sleeping or getting laid.

And other schools have always allowed but summer of 09- he was not allowed to intern and from 05-10- he was never allowed an official job. And if he came Howe for those few weeks during the summer- he was given a check sheet, how much weight he had to gain etc
