re: Just found out how much cheerleaders in the NFL make

It's only $75-$125 a game. That's disgusting for a billion dollar industry and the high demands put on those girls!

Did you have classes at Notre Dame with Skylar Diggins?

I know guys that worked menial jobs for pro teams, or even the media, to make contacts. I had a guy that would go get post-game quotes from the Mavericks visitors locker room for $20 bucks a night. He was a one-time Mavs training camp player. He used his college career, his old camp ties, and the newer contacts he made working for me, to start up some kids camps around Dallas. That's the kind of thing those cheerleaders should be trying to do.

When I was fresh out of college, I worked Rangers, Mavericks, and Cowboy games just to get to go to the games. Didn't get paid a dime, but it was well worth it. I had a real job, but wanted to get into covering games.

Graduates from some great colleges do unpaid internships with pro teams every year.
