What?!?!? Why didn't they opt for an art museum instead???

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Ha ha ha.....they forgot to build in private urinals and shitters at each locker!

Where's the ATM?

They each have a personal safe in their upper locker, re-stocked daily with a H U G E / F A T wad of $20s.

Those pods are for studying differential equations, seventeenth century French literature, and biochemistry, guys! Why are you giving them a hard time? They are just trying to help those players study better!

 

[Nitt1300]

"college" football lol

and the solution is supposed to be send your school more money- thanks for playing, suckers

 

[Rip_E_2_Joe_PA]

They generally sleep walk on offense..... the pods will prepare them even more for that.

Looks cool but why design a football locker room on a university campus (seemingly limitless room) after an airplane’s (seriously limited) first class section? It’s imaginative but everyone wants to nap on a long flight despite the close quarters. Considering on-campus alternatives, I’d go with my dorm room. Personally, I’d rather a napping room than being on display with dozens of other guys watching or napping or walking through...lights on...

Would be a great advantage when playing PSU in East Lansing during thunderstorms though.

Are you George Costanza?

As someone that has never set foot in a college football locker, the immediate question I have is "why?" Do players really spend time in the locker room when napping or lounging would be normal behavior? I'd think the usage of the room is geared around game day routines (pre and post) and practice and the last thing I'd want as a coach is to create a bunch of beds so my players are nice and sleepy for the activities they are expected to perform. This seems like a novelty with little actual purpose or function.

Why you ask? When you have Alabama in your division, you do whatever it takes to gain an advantage.

I understand the arms race. I'm honestly curious as to why a locker that converts to a bed is a good idea though. One can win the arms race without beds, which seems completely counter to what you'd want in a locker room.

Its clearly just for marketing, the amount of players sleeping in the lockerroom is nominal, but their recruiting coordinator will be able to say "does texas A&M have beds in their lockroom?" It is unpractical and stupid, but on a higher level, it's meant to market to 18 year olds that they "care about the student athlete experience" that they have left no stone unturned.

Just pay the kids already instead of pissing money away on obnoxious things like this.

I forget which LSU player , from just a few years ago, now in the pros said the same damn thing.

Why would paying the kids stop the ARMS. RACE. ? If they pay them, it won’t be free agency. So if both bama and lsu pay the same stipend, how do they entice a kid to commit (within the rules )?

 

[BobPSU92]

Penn State has spent TWICE THAT MUCH........ RENOVATING Lasch.

I do not believe I heard a single “PSU Fan” raising an issue with that.


Does anyone pay attention?

lsu football is a joke off the field. Sleeping pods?

Penn State’s program obviously is committed to academics and life after the game. Lasch has study spaces. It’s not just a football building.

SWEET. JEEBUS.

Exactly. If you paid them you'd still have to compete to get them to come to your school in the first place. And when people say pay them, they mean all the athletes, even though most of them (those outside of football and men's basketball) are money drains already. And for that matter, sometimes football and men's basketball are money drains too because schools have to do things like build more and more expensive facilities to get players to come there.

This may trigger an arms race with Holiday Inn Express!

Clemson has nap rooms in their football facility.

 

[Op2]

I thought LSU and Clemson already had a place for their football players to nap. They call it a "classroom."

Rudy would have liked a pod for sleeping.

Separate building just like PSU, 50% larger.

Does anyone pay attention? The day job does take some real time and energy bro. Take a ticket and get in the outrage line with Bob.

Hard to say the hard dollars just to Lasch from this article. But we were supposedly the Polish Calvary fighting panzerkampwagons, prior to any of our renovations. LSU recently had a redo.
