God didn't do this. Bammers did.

The Babylonians also built an impressive tower as I recall...

At some point it's just overkill. There must be a point where building another building just doesn't add a net positive to recruiting.
I haven't seen a bad SEC school when it comes to athletic facilities and amenities.

Is there still an NCAA rule that any athletics cafeteria also must be open to all students?

It's all about the money. But Fatboy is right, it's overkill and Bama invented football overkill.

Ours is open to all students at State. I know this, because my brother would always go get lunch in Templeton. We don’t publicize it that it is open to all students, so I’m not sure what the NCAA rule is.

College football is so hard on student athletes my ***..

Anyone bitching about players not getting paid in college football should go check out a military pay chart and come back and tell us how unfair it is... The 18-22 year olds in the military are in the E-1 to E-4 ranges.

If that doesn't change your tune, then as punishment for being a dick, you should get a spoonful of the powdered eggs and that rock of a biscuit only the military can cook. You will then understand the feeling of simultaneously being constipated and diarrheal that these boys experience every morning..

Now with that said, the KBR tents in Baghdad had better food than the Palm. Lobster tails on Friday baby.*

I was discussing this with a friend a couple weeks ago. We are near the the bottom, when it comes to SEC football budget, yet you can see how great our facilities are. At what point do you start struggling to come up with ways to spend money. Bama has a budget over $100 mil. That's nuts. What are you buying with that last $20 mil? Do they have gaming consoles and quadruple ply toilet paper in every bathroom stall?

Schools should not pay them (they already get a stipend so they are already getting paid to an extent), but they should be able to profit on their name and likeness just like any other person in the world is able to do (including people in the military). Everyone that recruits in the top 25 is already paying them anyway. Just make it ok for them to profit on their name.

You are correct. My daughter goes there some.
According to the MSU Dining website:

[FONT=&quot]Located on the North-side of campus, Templeton is one of our all-you-care-to-eat Residential Dining Halls featuring comfort foods, grilled favorites, vegetarian options, pasta, and much more! For Meal Plan holders, Block Meals are redeemable at this location for lunch; Premium meals are served nightly as a part of the Athletic Training Table experience. Meal Plans for the majority of scholarship athletes include these low-fat/high-protein courses. For other students with Meal Plans, they can use a Block Meal at the Training Table plus $4.37 with Flex Dollars or pay out of pocket for these upscale dinner meals. Students, and others on campus, are welcome to eat with us at Templeton and would just pay out of pocket for their meal.[/FONT]

As nice as this looks, facilities for student in general are a whole lot nicer than what most of us had. I'm only 15 years removed from college and the average dorm appears like a luxury hotel compared to the old gang of dorms. Back then you wanted to get in Hull or Evans. The rest of the dorms were crap, and Hull and Evans were good only because Hull had a great location and huge rooms (but was older than Madelon) and Evans had the suite setup without the altitude of Suttle.

Excellent point, although Navy food is pretty good. Not quite the quality that the school supplies for athletes though.

When I was there, most of the dorms didn't have air conditioning. The steam heat was good though.

That's news to me. Never heard of a military person or a government civil servant being allowed to have personal gain based on their government position. In fact, it's strictly forbidden. If a government scientist invents something that's related to his job, the patent belongs to the government (same with private industry). He might get some minor royalties eventually, but that's it.

And we use actual plates and "silverware", while they use Styrofoam and plastic utensils. Therefore, we win!!!

That is different than profiting on name and likeness.
