Opinions and feedback hopefully.

Mr.Miller on the radio told me the same thing.(4. I'm also sure of what an SEC strength and conditioning coach told me is another confounder, and I swear this will be the saddest thing you hear all day:) http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2012/12/20/3789222/steroids-college-football-malnutrition

Back in the day incoming freshman at Clemson were put on the meal plan, I was told. I commuted so it wasn't something that involved me.

The explanation was that dorm housed freshmen tended to eat less because of their tendencies to skip meals and snack. That's why there were supposedly 'forced,' to buy a plan to eat at Clemson's dining halls. Weight gain was a noted problem because of the 'free food.'

I don't know if that's the reason that football players gain weight but I'd say having all you want every time you want and being expected to gain weight is a factor.

Building inordinate amounts of muscle is different than gaining weight and genetics is a paramount factor. So is the roid.

My confusion on this topic is from the ESPN article put out by the AP,cause the people reserching the topic are trained scientist and some of them have been involved with No Dopeing in College Athletics or sports in general.Heres the qwote.(Don Catlin, an anti-doping pioneer who spent years conducting the NCAA's laboratory tests at UCLA.)(NCAA has never studied weight gain or considered it in regard to its steroid testing policies, said Mary Wilfert, the NCAA's associate director of health and safety. She would not speculate on the cause of such rapid weight gain.(Big gains, data show
The AP's analysis found that, regardless of school, conference and won-loss record, many players gained weight at exceptional rates compared with their fellow athletes and while accounting for their heights. The documented weight gains could not be explained by the amount of money schools spent on weight rooms, trainers and other football expenses.

Adding more than 20 or 25 pounds of lean muscle in a year is nearly impossible through diet and exercise alone, said Dan Benardot, director of the Laboratory for Elite Athlete Performance at Georgia State University.

The AP's analysis corrected for the fact that players in different positions have different body types, so speedy wide receivers weren't compared to bulkier offensive tackles. It could not assess each player's physical makeup, such as how much weight gain was muscle versus fat, one indicator of steroid use. In the most extreme case in the AP analysis, the probability that a player put on so much weight compared with other players was so rare that the odds statistically were roughly the same as an NFL quarterback throwing 12 passing touchdowns or an NFL running back rushing for 600 yards in one game.
(Are these people telling a lie,or missleafing the public.)
