iPad iPad Monitoring Question

[osscie3]

Hey guys, I'm new here. I play on a college football team. They have recently given us (players) iPads to use them to watch practice film, playbooks, etc. They said they can monitor our use on it and that we can only watch film and stuff at home and can't do anything else. If we attempt to do anything else, it would delete everything and we'd have to go to them to get certain playbook and film apps back. My question is, how can I check to see what kind of monitoring they can do? Or can I even see if they are just bluffing? I've been wanting an iPad to use at church as well as schoolwork and it'd be nice to find a workaround to this. I just don't want to get too far and everything get deleted.

Obviously they will allow us to have a wifi connection. We get film and everything through this app through the cloud I'm assuming.

Thanks in advance
