It doesn't take that much time

I've been reading around on the spring / summer narrative about Scott and Tessa's lives, and came across the notion that Tessa is consumed with school. Too consumed with school to get back on the ice any time soon. Seems girl is on campus almost daily, stuck in one location, up to her neck in demanding master's program coursework. 

So I looked it up. I'd read on FSU that Tessa's pursuing an EMBA, not an MBA, and an EMBA is much less immersive, attracting candidates whose daily lives are filled with full time jobs or the intensive training required of an internationally competitive athlete. Sort of a once over the basics where one's previous life, sport and business experience is integrated into the learning modules. I had not previously verified the EMBA info apart from FSU but believe the link below does:

Although her name and image is used to front the piece, she is not quoted.

Tessa applied for and was selected to attend the class of 20-22 "The partnership offers athletes the choice between 12 business programs, supported by a scholarship funded by the Smith School of Business that covers the full cost of the program and related services." The program seems to feature as many related services and life resources as it does academic courses, the latter of which are downplayed IMO.

Tessa stopped competing in early 2018, and so compared to other participants seems a bit of a latecomer since at Tessa's school: "Most of the EMBA program is delivered virtually to accommodate for the schedule of full-time athletes." Certainly that says if Tessa wanted to be back on the ice, the program wouldn't just allow it, but encourage it. And if you're not a full time athlete any more that leaves lots of time for other full time stuff anywhere in the world while still progressing through this helpfully undemanding and generous program. 

In case Tessa IS, in fact, getting an EMBA with this and not an MBA (the program does suggest EMBA-ish), this is what the internet says about an EMBA: 

• The main cited difference between an MBA and an Executive MBA is the level of immersion in the graduate school experience and the customization of classes towards a more experienced group of individuals. 
•  Full-time MBA students have full-day, intensive schedules, making it tough to maintain a job outside the program. 
•  Executive MBA students keep their full-time jobs and typically attend classes on Fridays and the weekends, though this can lead to less interaction on campus.

If we then take away "Fridays and weekends" and make it a couple of virtual sessions a week plus "customization", students can be doing almost anything full time in addition to grinding diligently through these degree requirements. They could be training for a space mission. 

This EMBA program leaves plenty of breathing room for days spent shuttling between various photo studios participating in female empowering soft but bright white filtered photoshoots and videos for dry shampoo, artificially sweetened soft drinks and high fructose corn syrup laden snack chips. Excuse me, corn sugar laden snack chips. The corn industry petitioned for a name change. 

Or you could be easily living and coaching full time wherever it is your husband is meant to be doing it. Maybe your kids can even pitch in with the coursework, as it is heavy on real life experience applications.
