per Marcus:
As the nation's top conferences lobby for structural change in the NCAA, Minnesota players already are benefitting from increased concerns for the welfare of college student-athletes. The Gophers got an early taste, literally, this summer.
When Gophers basketball coach Richard Pitino told reporters last week that scrawny freshman Carlos Morris gained 17 pounds since joining the team this summer, he credited the NCAA's new policy.
"He came in, he might have been 160 pounds," Pitino said. "Now that he gets in this environment, and he's eating several times a day, thanks to Shabazz Napier, he'll eat like 20 times a day. So we just keep feeding him. That's the way it's going to be."
