Interesting read.

The thought of 110 young athletes in their late teens and early twenties -that's just the football players- getting all they want to eat is staggering. In my mind I picture railroad cars coming into T-town laden with various cuts of beef and pork. I think it is great that walk-ons will be able to participate as well. The only caveat that I see is that some of the big guys already have weight issues, so there will need to be supervision. Mount Cody might have reached 500 pounds in that scenario.

Agreed @psychojoe! Kids that need to gain weight or maintain it, need the proper means to do it. NOT A FREAKIN PLEASURE CRUISE MIDNIGHT BUFFET!! Those Linemen need the monitoring to make sure they don't balloon up too. It is always mentioned how those kids that go to all of these awards banquets have a tendency to gain some "unwanted" weight. I imagine CNS will have a nutritionist hired strictly to monitor the dining halls.
