Re: How to get more students involved in business?

I would recommend doing as much during the preseason/postseason as possible and avoid build season. That way anyone who is interested in both doesn't feel that they have to choose. That is probably when most of your fundraising and outreach occurs anyways and even awards like Chairman's can be mostly done in the preseason.

A lot of teams also require students to do business things to letter/go to competitions/be on the team at all. Mostly it's helping at outreach events, but some teams require students to fund raise as well. While you probably won't get enthusiastic participation if it's mandatory, if what you need is bodies, this works fine. For more important jobs like grant writing, awards, etc., you need willing participants.
