I think that's the right idea, but keep two things in mind. First, even though you love the Spurs and desire to ultimately be there, don't limit yourself to finding a job with them. It's better to have a job that you like, even if it's not with the organization you dream of working for, than to have a job you hate. If you want to do sports management, I can't imagine that there's a huge difference in work required of the unpaid job that the Spurs might have and the unpaid job that the Missions might have -- but there's likely to be less compe ion for the Missions job. That's not to say that you wouldn't be able to work for the Spurs -- just remember that the key is the job. Also, like I said in the other post, I wouldn't limit myself to professional teams -- working in the AD's office or the SID's office at UTSA might, in some ways, be better experience than working for a professional sports franchise, if only because you might have more responsibility and more of an opportunity to get involved with a broader array of matters.
Just a thought.
Also, I wouldn't discount the value of an education, even if you get an internship with the Spurs. I suspect you'll be viewed very differently (and much more favorably) if you have a degree than if you don't. Being in school isn't a waste of time unless you choose to make it that.
