Looks like a vending machine.

Would much rather have that money spent elsewhere like players lounges, common areas, dorm rooms, etc., than on my locker.

Does nothing to change the fact you have to go play 11 AM low quality broadcast games in places like Lubbock, Texas and Ames, Iowa.

UT has way too many cooks in the kitchen. Until that changes, they will continue to struggle in their major sports.

yes, the arms race is silly at times. but those lockers are just a blatant waste of money. I don't even like them.

Even Longwhorns with above average intelligence by their standards would be confused as to how to use that ridiculous locker.

Without a paycheck to grap a player's attention, this situation will continue.

This is the product of extreme wealth and low number of wins. Universities like bama won't need those ugly lockers. All they have to do is show recruits their trophies.

I wonder what the players think of these facilities after being in the program for three years ? It is great for recruiting, but doesn't mean anything once the player gets into the program.

I would like to see the different dinning facilities and menu's to see the difference in the programs.

LSU GrandDad, I don't think you were the intended target.

Get used to it folks, billion dollar industry with a teenage target audience when it comes to recruiting.

Starts with the lockers and sooner or later it'll be the uni's.

Who do you think will be the last program to "give in" re: uni's? I believe Texas, SC, Bama and PSU are holding strong from the blue bloods, anyone else?
