Went to Clemson in the 1980's. Football got separate everything: dining, dorms, trainers, gyms, girlfriends, etc. Runners and everyone else had to eat and dwell with all the other riff-raff.

I took classes like this...as a three-season athlete (cross, indoor, outdoor), any time someone else volunteered to do the assignment, why would I say no? It was always the kid who was certain to get an A and my momma didn't raise no fool.
I'm not sure what you're getting at but these are very common at big schools. A perk that P5 coaches would float to me was paying for my groceries and a private dining hall. This basically assures that athletes are eating right, getting everything they need and not being pressured by money to eat worse.
the best answer is that athlete dining halls make recruiting easier - it's an arms race out there. And they build some camaraderie, elitism and maybe help a little on quality food.
Just another example of the out of control nature of D1 athletics. You can layer the absurdities onto the garish stupidity onto the piles and piles of hubris and cash.

More importantly, NAU has at least one meet scheduled every week from Friday, January 13 through the conference meet, February 25th, and then two weeks later, NCAA Indoors. So, we can actually talk about running again.
An illegal 5:30 a.m. training session would conclude in time for breakfast to open at the dining halls anyway.
A.D. and coaching staffs want to keep their college athletes away from hard partying n.a.r.p.s.
You should see the football only stuff if you’re this oblivious to whats been going on at college athletic facilities
It is a trend in many colleges to tie common interest groups together. The band kids eat together as groups, the cheerleaders hang out together, the science department has places they eat and hang out, etc. Most of them are probably happy to get the athletes out of their space so they can concentrate on their own specialties.
you obviously did not run xc or track in college. it looks like there are plenty of comments on here with the patients to explain it to you.
Hey, OP here.
A bunch of you are taking shots at me for being ignorant or not knowing what I'm talking about.
Yes, guilty as charged. That's why I asked. Duh.
And you gave me enlightening answers and we had a good discussion. Thanks
Just about all colleges are a ripoff now
But it is smart to avoid a school that spends a ton of money on sports.
No not insane snowflake, get a clue!!!!!! This is how it is!!
"Voluntary" workouts.
