On the other hand, if an athlete puts on 20 to 30 pounds...
I'm guessing that many scholarship athletes room-up off-campus, get a meals allotment, then chow down at the training and snack tables.

For those that didn't read the NYT's article, here's an interesting paragraph:
"The massive increase is consistent with programs across the Big 5 conferences this year, according to a survey released last week by the Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association. The survey of about two dozen top programs found that average spending increased 145 percent — to $1.3 million from about $534,000 — just since Aug. 1, 2014, which is when the N.C.A.A. lifted its limitations on meals and snacks for Division I athletes, allowing colleges to provide as much food and beverages to their players as they want."

Dressing it up with signs that say "Eat your opponent" is nice The hilarious thing about the "Eat Your Enemies" art is that it has all the other PAC-12 mascots depicted..... when duck is the only one that's actually regularly eaten. Unless you are Euell Gibbons. "Ever eat a pine tree?" Eating bison is not terribly uncommon. Not as common as duck, though.

The only problem with a Duck is you need to pluck it first (after wringing its neck).

This thread is pretty innocuous but the topic reminds of that one mean-spirited thread from years back titled "Peppy fat chicks."

Yes, but there is no such thing as Head-Smashed-In-Duck-Jump, so bison-eating has got that going for it. www.history.alberta.ca/headsmashedin/

You mentioned in one of these threads months?, years back?, that you were a D-1 athlete, what did training table entail. Was it 3 times a day during camp and the season? What kind of food? How much was available. What were the hours that it was available?

How much was available. What were the hours that it was available? This was almost thirty years ago, so my memory might be playing me false, but I think we were allowed ten meals a week under NCAA rules, and meals while traveling didn't count towards the ten. That was for eating at an athlete-only dining room. Depending on the practice and game schedules the meals were usually lunch and dinner. There was a ton of food available - lean red meats, chicken, fish, pasta, fruit, veggies, salad, ice cream. While I imagine things weren't as advanced as they are now in terms of nutritional science etc, there were guidelines and many players were on specific calorie goals depending on whether the coaching staff was looking for weight gain, weight loss, or maintaining weight. I don't remember hours of operation, but we were given meal vouchers for the regular cafeteria when the training table was closed.

I remember once going to a VB banquet at the Haas Club Room, but women's BB had just finished practicing and they had the practice training table set up in a meeting room with the door open. It seemed to be mostly cold cuts.
