Other leagues have a position specifically for player approval, would HO consider creating an approver position to allow the intern to become more of an actual intern rather than the old timey "get me my coffee" sort of position?

It's been this way for a while, this isn't something to do with the current HO group, but I do think it's something this group has the opportunity to improve.

Having served in the role and seen the two interns to follow me, I can say that hasn't been the case. The intern engages in all the discussions that go on in HO, and I imagine that would continue.

I think there's some value in what you propose. I'm not sure what there would be for the intern to "do" if the player approval process was taken off their plate, however.
