Don’t student athletes have special dorms and food plans that are not available to other students?
There are no special dorms for student athletes at UConn. They are fully integrated into the array of dorms available at UConn. The NCAA and UConn prohibit establishing an athletics residence hall, so no more than 50% of the residents may be athletes. There are special meal plans for student athletes called “training tables”, in which specific food has been prepared for the student athletes to maximize their physical and mental development, while maintaining strength, speed, flexibility and endurance. NCAA rules allow a student athlete to have one training table meal a day in an athletics sponsored eating facility during the academic year. All other meals are either in a regular meal plan or the student’s responsibility.
