You really can't expect the Wizards to pay for photography usage when they are paying their players combined salaries of $77,826,248 for the 2009-2010 season.

->> Does the fact it counts toward college credit give them the loophole around not paying? Along those lines, wouldn't the credit have to be established and approved by the student's university?

On the bright side, since it's for the Wizards, they won't have to worry about the extended requirements of dealing with the playoffs.

->> Kevin,

the college credit thing doesnt matter when it comes to paying/not paying.. this sort of internship would still be illegal

->> It looks as they are looking for someone to

A. Work for free
B. Shoot only sponsor stuff - thereby freeing up the team photographer to focus on game stuff
