Reality programming couldn't stay away forever. The NCAA has launched a recurring feature called ''My Life as an NCAA Intern,'' which will follow four current national office interns as they explore the world of intercollegiate athletics. This first episode introduces you to the interns and provides a taste of what their adventures will be like in coming months.

Josh,
Well done! You've got an all-star cast and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them. I would like to hear the interns talk about what impacted their decisions to become NCAA interns and how being a college student-athlete helped prepare them to step into the professional world. I think you have a really good opportunity here to show how being a student-athlete is great preparation for life after intercollegiate athletics.

Welcome to the real world. If life were easy, we would all be rich and famous but it???s not. So we need to struggle and make our own way by standing on our own two feet. The private sector provides so many student athletes the opportunity to use their skills and climb the ladders of life. Keep up the good work and remember, "In the life of all free nations, there come moments that decide the direction of a country and reveal the character of its people. We are now at such a moment."

Great topic here Josh. For an individual that is interested in becoming an intern with the NCAA, this gives me a small insight into what they do on a daily basis. Looking forward to seeing many more of these videos.

This is a great tool to educate interested individuals on life as an NCAA intern. What a fun way to learn more about the NCAA and the people that work in the national office. Nice job Josh!

Great job on the video. I was on the track team in college with Christina. As a former student athlete, I'm excited to see that the NCAA interns are making a video about how they took their passion for the sport and are turning it into a career. There is so much more to college athletics than just playing, and I'm glad that your video will give people a peak into that world.

Great job Josh! This is a great way to educate the membership and share our experiences as NCAA interns with individuals aspiring to join the "intern" family.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane and a sneak peak at my old cubicle. Life was great at the national office, it is hard to find Coke products for a quarter, an expense account, free office supplies and great colleagues!
Keep up the good work Centor!
