9. Athletes eat better than that

At Nebraska, athletes dine on specially made entrees such as mahi mahi steaks, bison meatloaf or chicken marsala at the Lewis Training Table.

Nebraska will spend $3.3 million this year on athlete nutrition. In addition to the high-quality food at the training table and healthy snacks at fueling stations, the budget covers a director of food service, executive chef, registered sports dietitian and three assistants, and more than a dozen other staffers.

"We know from anecdotal evidence that what you eat can either elevate you or hold you back," said Lindsey Remmers, Nebraska's director of performance nutrition. "So you've got to provide the food because we know they don't go out and go grocery shopping on their own. They won't eat (right) unless it's here.”

Clemson this year opened a $55 million football-only building featuring a dining hall where, once everything is up and running for the defending national champions, a player's biometric readings will help determine his recommended diet for the day. The player will put his thumb on a scanner and step on a scale, and his personal menu will be produced based on the information gleaned from the readings.

It's a story about the differences between "Power 5" programs like Nebraska and Clemson, and non-power 5 programs like North Dakota State, but the reality is that athletes generally don't eat shitty food such as what the president is serving to them.
