I would give this internship experience 5 out of 5 stars. I feel as though I got a very thorough look into how a professional sport franchise should be run. I was able to experience many things hands-on, and exercise my own judgment about several assignments. The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming, and I really felt like part of the RoughRiders administrative team. Site Ranking
