Kudos, Clanga.
In addition to covering full cost of attendance, MSU – like many other SEC schools – has already added more full time staff throughout the department, most of them in areas working directly with students.
MSU hired a full-time nutritionist for the first time last year, is adding another full-time athletic trainer this year, and for the first time ever is creating a position dedicated entirely to life skills coordination for student-athletes. The job, as Stricklin explained it, is intended to help students manage their time in college and prepare them for life after school, everything from putting together résumés and job applications to saving money and using time wisely.
In fact, MSU actually has plans to work with Dave Ramsey’s organization to provide fiscal education to student-athletes.
“We want to make sure that they understand the basics of finance,” Stricklin said. “Not that we’re going to tell them what to do with their money, but to make sure they understand how to open a checking account, set a budget and things of that nature.”
Kudos, Clanga.
