I totally agree the nutrition of OUr athletes is sadly lacking and woefully inadequete but having run marathons and triathlons and taken care of athletes from recreational to collegiate levels I find it laughable that a professional athlete blames his school and the coaches for the food. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2671684-trey-burke-rip...

I have long had a soft spot for the nutritional challenges OUr athletes have on many levels from access, to knowledge. While working in the training room at Ball State I worked with training staff to get Dietetics students and athletes together. At Ohio we still have the challenges of athletes skipping meals because once they leave for class, report to practice, get treatment and then head for home many of the dining halls are closed or even worse those athletes living off campus have no supervision or education as to what they put in their body. P5 schools for the most part are way ahead with training tables and fuel stations in the athletic facilities and oversight as to what is going in and when. I have a hard time, knowing what is available at UM, thinking Burke has a leg to stand on... OTOH, I know where the gaps are in OUr approach to feeding our athletes in all sports.

Borna--some of the nutrition problems can be solved by thinking, coordinating, education...as you point out.


But some spend would be needed, no doubt. Any idea how much it would cost for hoops to get to where it oughta be on the food thing?

He also blames the school for not helping him learn how to handle his finances entering the NBA. Hey Trey, I'm guessing they might have had a personal finance class you could have taken at some point.

The accounting class in my high school was never as popular as it should have been. Balancing a check book and interest were main and basic topics. I think I remember kids thinking it wasn't a "cool" class. Those "cool" kids aren't laughing now.

It starts at home folks - food and finance. It's even more important at home now than ever because so many schools have taken "real life" classes out of the course of study. The thinking goes "if they aren't testable subjects, we're not offering them." Sad but so true.

I got my first checking account when I was freshman at O.U.
Your monthly statement had instructions on how to balance it.

Real tough.
Take your starting balance,subtract checks that cleared,add deposits that have cleared and that should equal the balance on your statement.
If it doesn't,you usually made an addition or subtraction error or missed a check or deposit.

The biggest problem people had was letting it go for a few months then trying to balance it.
