From the contract:
quote:

Locker Rooms. ADPT agrees it shall provide clean, well-maintained team locker rooms consistent with the quality and amenities provided by other schools within the SEC, including, but not limited to, ample hot water for purpose of after game showers for the football teams. ADPT further agrees to equip home and visitor dressing rooms with supplies as requested by the UA.

LMAO no wonder the players hate playing there. WMS truly is a dump.
