per the Daily:

Gophers football head coach Jerry Kill said he endorses the rule change because it benefits his players.

“Any time in performance, you have to have sleep and you have to eat properly,” Kill said. “I think a lot of people benefit from it.”

Kill said the increased availability of food allows his players to easily bulk up or lose weight, depending on their positions.

For example, Kill said freshman Gaelin Elmore has put on dozens of pounds during the last few months as he has transitioned from tight end to the defensive line.

The school’s athletics department has relied on nutritionists to devise menus designed to provide Gophers athletes with a well-balanced diet, Kill said.

“Your nutritionist plays such a big role in sports today,” Kill said. “She meets individually with [the players]. … If you don’t feed the body, if you don’t fuel it, you aren’t going to get what you need.”
