Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to gather information regarding the response of NCAA affiliated Division I and Division II colleges and universities to the deregulation of feeding student athletes.Due to the descriptive nature of the study no hypotheses were established.These results coincide with the research of the CPSDA (Markey, 2015) that examined fueling stations of schools in the Power 5 conferences (Big 10, Big 12, SEC, ACC, and PAC-12).This research also looked at smaller Division I and Division II colleges and universities and discovered that while they are not spending the money to develop the extensive systems that the Power 5 institutions, they are still developing fueling stations that serve hundreds of student athletes a variety of nutrient and energy rich foods while still creating jobs, but on a smaller budget.
