jobs for players

[buzztheirazz]

wouldn't we have a competitive advantage in this dept. over a lot of other schools?

i know that SA's are allowed to have jobs where they are paid market value. so....due to the fact that Atlanta has a much better job market than say the cesspool, AU, clem's son., etc. couldn't we get some of these guys into co-op's and decent paying real jobs? all on the up and up too.

it would be a great selling point for all recruits because they'll gain work experience as well as money. this would be mainly for the real decent 3 *'s that are looking at the "life" picture in general and just not football as a guarantee.

Yeah, but with the practice schedule it would be impossible for an SA to participate in the co-op program. I'd be willing to bet there are some players who've at least interned in some capacity over the last few years, but I don't know how much you can sell this unless there are alums who have jobs earmarked for football players. If thrown in with everyone else, they might face problems by having to ask for a flexible schedule (versus a regular student who doesn't have football related activities going on).
