LoveforVouk Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I was listening to the Brad Soderberg show on the radio and him and Ramsey started talking about the student managers after someone called in and asked about the job. I was wondering who these guys are and what do they do. I have been to a few games and don't really know what they do doing a game or anything. Soderberg and Ramsey talked a lot about them and I was just curious about what people know since i've never heard this discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoat Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 basically, they get full or partial rides to school to be with the team essentially 24/7. They help out with practice, do laundry, sit on the bench at games and assist, various administrative duties, etc. It really is a pretty cool gig, but takes up quite a bit of your time as they have to be wherever the team is for the most part.

cheeseman Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I knew a kid's father who did this for SLU when Spoon was here and back then he said it was a full ride. You have to assist for free for at least one year before you are offered the full ride slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 the one that travels with the team, normaly as a senior, gets the full ride. Brad and Ramsey said there were currently 5 managers so there is obviously some competition for the scholarship spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 i have a nephew that is a manager for the illini. they have 15 managers! i think more than one gets a full ride and the rest get a lot of other nice perks. trips, tix, illini gear, shoes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
