From Forbes?..
I have assumed ever since I could spell sports that the NCAA requires schools to provide a qualitative nutritional program for student athletes ? since the schools lure these special teenagers away from their parents? kitchens in exchange for a scholarship ? since schools vow that they care more about the students than winning games ? and since a strong healthy athlete is good for winning games. And particularly in the big-money sports like football where the teenagers are subjected to grueling boot camps during hot 2-a day summers and beyond, with time commitments akin to a full-time-job. And whatever food isn?t provided by the school, I?ve pretty much assumed they get all kind of extra benefits, including however many broccoli spears and carrots sticks they need.
But when a premier group of sports dietitians have to beg the NCAA to require that schools properly feed student-athletes, something in the value system is malnourished. The President of the Collegiate and Professional Sports Dietitians Association (CPSD), Amy Bragg, directs performance nutrition for the University of Alabama athletics department. Currently, the NCAA regulations restrict players to one formal ?training meal? per day for scholarship athletes, no matter what the sport, no matter how rigorous the training. The CPSD request to the NCAA is to go beyond that regulation, to allow the student athletes ?unfettered? access to ?whole foods?and, as necessary, dietary supplements, to replace nutrients, fluids and electrolytes expended while preparing for their sport.?
You mean they don?t already do that? Surely the NCAA, an association of colleges and universities that are trustees of these teenagers does the right thing for something as basic as food ? especially for the sports that generate the vast majority of the revenue for the organization and pays most of their salaries and expenses.
