We’ve often wondered what it must be like to be a college athlete with a scholarship to play football in America. Apart from being the coolest guy in school with all the raging Spring Break keggers (whoooo, spring break), it turns out that it also means you can live like an absolute king in the changing room.

Far from this was it that we were reared. We’d be lucky if the changing room was anything more than a prefab cabin in the middle of a field used mostly for cow dung storage, never mind all of the bells and whistles on this bad boy.

There are two pool tables (sure one wouldn’t do), an arcade machine area, a “nutrition bar” where you can get Gatorade on tap, a 30 foot long hot tub complete with waterfall feature, and a huge TV wall made up of four smaller TVs that are hooked up together.

All we ever asked for was a glass of orange dilute and the odd ham sandwich. The times they are a-changin’ we suppose.
