Now, the holy grail would be an answering machine that could have its messages set remotely...but if you had a mentor that would host it out of their house (and would be willing to put up with a ton of 8:00-AM-on-a-Saturday calls), good enough.

Or, if you were willing to shell out a bit more for peace and quiet and a clear phone line during such times, a second line for our house is $15.82 per month. $70 for such a system during the season (for three months, rather) doesn't seem too terrible...but even better might be to set up a separate voicemail account through the school for the team, if your IT minions are cooperative.
