[@kookiekris]

I've never seen this kind of stuff... Wow!

[@whitelavarball]

Not sure if this was mentioned as I'm now just watching your video but you were confused why there was not a back on the lockers the reason for that is because that is a whole separate room were the trainers have access to gather up all of the equipment or certain accessories that each player needs before each game or practice that whole room would be locked then the only way would be that player to have access to his locker and then all of his belongings would be in there

[@michaelkehm8031]

Fall camp is to get ready for the season

[@ShaneAdams-y4k]

This is fall camp. The actual school year hasn’t started yet. So they are at the football facility most of the day. When classes start they will go to classes. In order to be eligible to play they need to take a minimum number of classes and maintain a minimum grade point average. The lockers have no backs on them because there are people that wash their clothes and put them in the locker for them.

[@jimbarber9638]

There is no back to the lockers because the back opens into the uniform supply room where players uniforms are provided, laundered, and placed into the individual players locker. It's not their main locker, but a convenient way to distribute the right uniforms to the players.

[@heatherhitchens3212]

Yes they are regular students so they do regular classes as well. They have to maintain a certain GPA to be allowed to play. They have their own cafeteria when practicing and working out. Usually all in a sports center near the stadium. They have nutritionists to help them with what to eat. This seems like it was a practice day. They must have a big game coming up. This is not every day

[@bluflaam777LSA]

Fall camp. They stay and practice most days until school starts. There may be scrimmages against other schools but those are only for practice.

Division 1 althletes are treated like kings by university althletic depts. Provided with all the best facilities, gear, food, beverages for hydration, you name it. And they're kings on campus as well. But they still have to carry a full class load and maintain their Grade Point Average to be able to play, just like they did in High School. "Fall Camp" is their full on training period to get in optimum shape right before Football season begins, which runs from August thru January.

People often forget that the "Revenue-drawing sports" (football, men's and women's basketball) are usually pulling in a lot of the money that subsidizes all of the other sports a school carries. One year of conference TV revenue can cover a pretty significant chunk of the entire athletic department's expenses.

As a Hotel Chef, we entertained FIU, Florida A&M, FSU, Notre Dame, Texas A&M. They would get a full Italian buffet with 2 Chef cooking at a full choice Pasta Bar, next morning, 8 am full breakfast buffet with a double Omlette bar with over 15 choices. The colleges have cut back somewhat on the spending in the last few years. The local college FIU simulates being on an away game every game, so the players have almost the same experience as they do as if they were playing on the road. We have one more college weekend coming up in November. Then Christmas parties, sighhhh!

[@jstringfellow1961]

How funny! Before the video started, I looked at the wall of the building and said, "Looks like OU!" And it was!! LOL, Lewis, you can't possibly think this was just for show or TV! C'mon now, we're serious about our football here in the U.S.

[@jimbarber9638]

University athletes are required to take a full course of study. And they must pass to stay eligible to play. Therefore, there are tutors paid by the athletic department to make sure that the athletes stay successful in their studies. Not all college athletes need this, but it is available to those that do. These athletes are treated well, and they are provided with what they need to succeed. Team wins equate to big dollars to the university, so, money well spent.

[@winterman63]

Yes they have to go to class and maintain good grades. This stuff you're watching is mostly done before regular classes start. The football team begins practices earlier.

[@rickalexander2801]

[@KenMosher-yr6ww]

Yes, and fun to watch Oregon's football program grow. ( Nike money).

[@LIL-MAN_theOG]

They are funded by the Nike founder Phil Knight..thats why.

[@MariJeanMelissa]

This is the football facility. There are other areas for other sports like baseball, swimming, basketball, etc. Intramural sports also have facilities. Outside of universities are USA Training facilities around the country where athletes are plugged into nutritionists, etc. - sort of the science of sport - where the elite athletes prepare for nationals, worlds, olympics.

[@joshmorris5922]

I think the reason college football is so popular here in America is pretty simple. The NFL scouts college teams for players. So college football players have 4 years to impress one of the NFL teams enough to get signed by someone. As for the college's themselves, the more players you have make it to the NFL, the more talented players will want to play at your school.

[@brettmuir5679]

Some college football programs are worth hundreds of millions if dollars to the university. The top coaches are paid multi million dollar contracts (not to mention the staff). The facilities and the maintenance etc etc cost many many many millions if dollars. Football in the USA is crazy lucrative

It's crazy how lucrative College Football is especially for the top universities. It's obscenely so. But man does it pay off in creating/maintaining the best possible athletes, and the greatest show for fans.

The University of Oklahoma football program is worth 1 billion dollars. It is up there with Ohio state and Texas.

[@lyndaalicea6037]

Lots of money goes to top schools, due to alumni. Sports in college is big business, but maintain your grades to play.

[@revgurley]

My guess for the open-backed lockers are for cleaning and laundry. You noticed that after a workout, they put their shirts in one chute, shorts in another. Big programs like Oklahoma have folks who do the laundry. It's easier for them to have an open back to the lockers so the clean clothes can be put in their locker, but only retrieved through the front. Kind of like mail post office boxes. Open in the back so they can put in your mail, but locked in the front so only you can retrieve it.

[@OkiePeg411]

This is the University of Oklahoma Sooners football team. I've been to several OU home football games. It's crazy. They have fireworks go off every time they get a touchdown. Once shrapnel from the fireworks rained down on us!!! I attnded the games i went to with a friend who was an OU football player in the early 70s. He is a "letterman" and gets season tickets every year. They have a letterman's meal before the game. There is a HUGE rivalry every fall between the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas. The game is always played in Dallas and is called the "Red River Shootout." It's always played during the Texas State Fair. Oh, and once you are a letterman you are a lifetime member. When you are in your 70s or 80s you will still have all the benefits of being a letterman. My friend that is a letterman fro the early 70s had a stroke and was having serious problems recovering. The coach from his time in foitball CALLED HIM and got him into a stroke rehabilitation program!!! It had been 50 years since he played football!!! Anytime someone needs a new job, career... they will get the former player a job!

[@ThatSoonerGuy]

Was it THE Barry Switzer that got him into a good stroke rehab facility? Sounds like something he would do. Boomer Sooner! Also, thanks for calling it the Red River Shootout, like it should be! Haha the media keeps trying to change that because of the word shootout.

[@jktarleton]

This is preseason camp probably before classes start for the year

[@1LJ84]

You have to remember, up until recently the players were not paid, only offered free school and housing. But college football is a huge money maker for the schools, especially when you are good. The way to be good is to get good players. The way to get good players is to have the best facilities. It is the ultimate arms race, each school is always trying to one up each other in every aspect.

[@timothydixon2545]

Ya and the football program pays for a lot of the other schools programs

[@Dane0209]

Yes they are students. My son played college and he had to maintain a certain GPA (grade point average) to be eligible to play. The food is part of the program where he played. And when they traveled for games they were fed also. Each year he played he got work out clothes, traveling clothes, game day warm ups(home and away) sets, socks, shoes and game uniforms. They also received bags to pack your stuff in for traveling. He graduated last year and is now a graduate coach getting his Masters. And he gets different clothes now but still gets a lot of the other perks like the meals and access to the game room and lounge.

[@abriahazel7504]

Once school starts, their practices get scheduled around classes. My high school was the same.

[@toemblem]

In my day, we called Fall camp: 2-a-days (aka hell weeks). Of course I never played D1 ball, only HS. Our camp was in the late summer and we started the day with an early morning practice, broke for lunch around 11, returned at 1PM for meetings and then the late afternoon practice. It was hell because it was hot. We got all the free tap water we wanted too. They had this hurdle that they had attached a PVC pipe to, with holes into it and it was fed by a garden hose. We called it the trough. You drink your fill and rinse off your head before having to put your helmet back on. It was hard work but the camaraderie that you built with your teammates was incredible. I'm still friends with a lot of those guys today. During the season, practice was a lot lighter. Saturday was game film and calisthenics, Sunday was off, Monday was scout films and helmets and shoulder pads, Tuesday and Wednesday were full pads, Thursday was helmets and shoulder pads with a walkthrough, and Friday was the greatest day, it was game day!

As recently as 20 years ago, it was common to see college football players use the same dining halls as all the other undergraduate students on campus. Also, the locker rooms were nice, like an upscale public gym, but now they're often even nicer than the ones most pro football teams have. The amount of money in the sport and the quality of amenities provided to the athletes is absolutely wild.

Fall camp is before school starts. We do have class in between football stuff. The football team has its own cafeteria. The football team has a full equipment team that gives clean clothes to wear everyday. That’s why the lockers didn’t have a back. The food and drinks are free. It’s not a spa it’s a recovery area. We go there to prevent injuries or if you are injured we have staff there who help us heal. Unless we break something then we have to go to the hospital. 😂 College sports are bigger than professional sports in America. College sports teams have the nicest facilities in the world (especially football) 😅 Most college football players burn between 4500 to 6500 calories a day so we need a lot of food.

[@AB-up6gf]

The food they are eating is 'already paid for'. If they are a top player that received a scholarship to play, the cost of the meal plan may be included. For most players, when tuition is paid, they will pay for a meal plan.

[@ginnylee6938]

They said day 5. This is likely before the semester starts. There are rules about how much training can occur over the summer but sports teams come back to school a couple weeks before the general population. They do have to maintain a certain GPA which will depend on the school some go as low as 2.8 out of 4.0 some accept 3.0 and some won’t accept lower than a 3.2. But they will also provide tutors and help.

[@bethstocking9466]

Players are students. At this level of play (Division I), football (or sometimes basketball) brings in the money to fund a lot of the other university programs. Broadcast companies pay HUGE amounts of money to the schools. It pays for the schools to invest in the training of a championship-level team. Competition is fierce for schools to get prime broadcast spots. You have to have a team that consistently wins and dominates. Otherwise, the public won't watch and the broadcasters will go somewhere else.

[@davidcharlesfisher5692]

I've seen literally cases and cases of Gatorade of all flavors stacked nearly to the ceiling lining an entire hallway in the football locker room hallways, tables with monogrammed sweat towels, and if you're a school member you can just grab some merch and take it with you!

[@DartJedi]

If some one has not cleared up the locker spaces that you are confused about. This is where they put the worked out items or uniform items that the team house keeping/gear managers take care of. Uniforms , towels, workout clothes, etc. Back behind there is not a mirror. That is the area that the house house keeping/gear managers sort and put the items into the cubbies for each team member. Like an old style hotel mail system. This way they can keep it all sorted and make sure that all the team members has what they need. Many of the items are numbered or have the player name on them so they have to go in a specific cubby. There are 5 stages to a football players year. Spring camp (March to May,) summer camp (June -July), fall camp (August), the season August - December), Play oofs if the make it (December - January), off time January - March). Yes the players have classes for a major, but a modified schedule. Sports Medicine is a huge industry in the US. The stuff is not free, it is part of their scholarship to play for the school. Boosters and sponsors of the school give money for this. This is University of Oklahoma, one of the largest college football programs in the country. They have all the best stuff un-like where I went to school. The school cares about wins and how they look. This is the players whole life.

[@robertschwartz4810]

They take classes, too, and if they're smart, they do well. Only a percent of them go on to play professionally, and if they're injured seriously, it ends their career at a young age.

[@dead-claudia]

1:45 yes, and at the scale they consume them, it's just cheaper to have someone negotiate directly with wholesale suppliers, if not beverage companies directly. even many middle schools here will buy sports drinks for their teams. i myself went to one such school, where they'd give us a 20oz bottle of powerade or gatorade after each cross country meet. and my middle school wasn't a high-income school flush with cash. for a college football team, they're usually negotiating directly with beverage companies. and high school teams will commonly do so as well.

[@kevincamp2913]

The University of Oklahoma stadium isn't even that big. You visit a place like the University of Tennessee, and they can seat over 100,000 for a game. OU does have really nice facilities, and that area is just for the athletes. The area behind the lockers is for staff to clean and restock the work out gear.

"Oh! Those are mirrors, I think." 🤣 Dude, if those were mirrors, the players must be either ghosts or vampires as they had no reflection. At least, that one guy did. No, it was open to the other side so that their cleaned uniforms can be delivered to the proper lockers kind of like a mail carrier delivering mail to an apartment complex. The carrier has one key that opens the back of the giant box or room that contains all the different individual mail boxes. This way the carrier has access to all of them without having to open each and every one, separately, which would take forever.

6:59 Football usually gets priority, but the whole athletic department usually uses that facility as sports rotate in and out of season. Some schools--especially up and down the east coast--are known for being basketball powerhouses, and will instead prioritize their basketball programs (both genders) with this level of treatment.

Oklahoma's stadium capacity is 80,126. That makes it the 15th largest college stadium. It is actually kind of small for the SEC (their division) in which 5 schools have stadiums over 100,000.

at my college which has as big if not bigger focus on college football, than OU, any student with a meal plan could go to the athlete dining hall but you had to make a reservation unlike every other dining hall because the food was so much better(therefore more popular)

You can tell how well the football program and school is doing by all the technology they have for the players and about their locker area you see their pic and number. Some school just have their jerseys on top and nothing customized. What he doesn’t show are the cleaners that take their dirty clothes, wash them, and put them back. He didn’t show all the water boys refilling the ice box for the drink stations through out. There’s also a cleaning crew there vacuuming and wiping everything down to keep dried sweat free on everything. They’re dumping the trash and keeping the showers/toilets clean. There’s all these little people you don’t see that keep the place spotless. They are kept out of the way of the players. LoL. The unseen heroes. 😂

Fall camp is when h practice in the fall before the regular season starts. It’s practice for almost 2 months. Just like spring training after the season.

[@devilfrawg4953]

Schools in the Power 4 conferences (and some of those in the G5/G6 conferences) have state of the art facilities for their football, basketball, and baseball programs.

Fall camp is a really hard training camp where they push your limits a lot

School first, football second. That's what they will tell you. When one of them graduates ask him to spell his name.

You have to realize College players are a stepping stone to Pro Football in the NFL…they get Scholarships, Alumni donate to football, baseball, basketball and that is both mens and womens sports in college. Some, aside from scholarships, get extra such as living expenses..anything that isn’t covered by scholarships. It is a big business in college for the college too…stadiums, equipment, etc are often funded by former alumni..or businesses who advertise at the games. Does that help you understand it all, here in-the US.

My grandson plays for a Big 10 team. He takes college courses in the afternoon and must maintain certain grades. He also takes college courses all year long, NCAA requires that as long as they are in student housing they must take college courses. He’s only home about 2 weeks a year.
