OT: OSU football job/internship

...would this have anything to do with acquisition of Hyundai automobiles?

Football is about fun and watching the games. It is not about affecting how you live your life. Plus you could leak out information (J/K). Why would you not take on the job? I understand you bleed maize and blue, but the potential job you are giving up sounds like a hell of an chance. If you show your skillz there. It could translate into you having the ability to someday maybe work for UofM in the same position. Maybe I am wrong but seems like a golden chance to get involved in the football world.

I think you should reconsider

I know many of you would applaud his actions, but especially in today's economy how could you not send it? Just think of it today if the long-time Ohio Sate grad assistant Bo Schembechler hadn't sent his resume to the Michigan football program.

Smooth move, ex lax!

Dude, it's a hell of an opportunity. OSU is a huge program, it could get your foot in the door throughout the B10 or NCAA business realm.

Then again, competence and sound decision-making would be required to get the most out of what that situation would have to offer..... maybe it doesn't matter after all.

ONCE A DUDE OFFERED ME A MILLION DOLLARS BUT HE HAD AN OHIO STATE HAT ON SO I TOLD HIM TO GO FUCK HIMSELF LOLOLOL

Seriously, don't be an idiot. Send the resume and stop being a retard... there's no award for being the biggest superfan who fucks himself over just because of fucking football

The Boston College logo on the block M is kind of wrong.

This adequately communicates how dismissively I'm wanking

Do it. OSU has one of the largest athletic departments in the nation. You'll be well connected and have great experience if you don't stay there. If you do stay there, you'll still have a great time working with athletics. Team preference should have zero impact on any sane person.

Good luck with getting the job.

i would do it if and only if... i dunno. i could never do it. i could see walmart wolverines doin it, but not grads. 

also, this is totally made up.

just in case anyone wasn't sure

If you send it in, like you said, it's not agreeing to take the job if offered. It never hurts to see what's available. The other posters may be right, you might have the opportunity to end up working at Michigan by taking the OSU job now, and I'm sure you'd really be able to help Michigan out someday. It would certainly not be a decision I would want to have to make (taking the job), good luck!

I would take it, As much as I hate them letting your hatred towards your rival ruin what could be a good decision future wise is stupid. That's a great connection if you ask me.

OSU football program is the only job in Columbus I would take.

Wow, dude. All you'd have to do is work there for a while and scan opportunities at [anywhere else] where your experience in a similar capacity at an elite football program would almost certainly make you a leading candidate.

FWIW, I had something similar happen to me (except for the OSU thing). I was at a random dinner at my best friend's house -> they had other guests -> "send me your resume" -> internship -> job -> thriving career. That was 10 years ago.

Don't be an idiot. In fact, negged for being an idiot.

I still regret not getting that recent job at UM in Athletic Media Relations, but I'm not giving up on it.  I've e-mailed Bruce Madej numerous times about at least volunteering in some capacity to learn the ropes.  Hell, I'm even going to be an usher this season for the experience (obviously, not the money).  If it leads to a future job in the AD someday, then it will have paid off.

Seriously, man, take the job.  It's not everyday you get offered a job in this economy.  Trust me, after the hundreds of resumes I've already submitted...

It's brutal.  That's a golden opportunity at your doorstep.

Do you really think NotABLUEFan doesn't have an internship/job in the Michigan Althletic Department or U of M admissions office?

and Don't do drugs.
