But really, the free M warm-up suit doesnt quite equal their efforts. With so many pitfalls and competing interests to be balanced in light of Proposition 62, the Universitys athletics department has taken the right approach. Dienhart has pledged to closely monitor booster-provided jobs. He will keep on top of things instead of pretending that boosters operate miles away from the athletics department. Moreover, the department will educate athletes about the new rules and help them find honest jobs.
Coaches realize that most athletes dont have time to work during the season.
An athletes day is filled with practice, games, training and study tables. Coaches like Clem Haskins are looking out for the best interests of student-athletes. He tells his team not to work unless its absolutely necessary. If it is absolutely necessary, student-athletes at least have the option. They work hard to represent our athletic teams and they generate millions of dollars for the University.
