per Marcus:

When Cedric Thompson showed up at the Gophers' new football players' lounge this summer, his jaw dropped at the sight of the breakfast spread available to the team.

"We had a tremendous amount of food," the senior safety said Monday. "There was a lot of fruit, a lot of muffins and protein shakes. There's a lot in there. There's no reason now that you can go without breakfast at all.

"It's great. It's something I wish we had all four years, but better late than never."

As the nation's top conferences lobby for structural change in the NCAA, Minnesota players already are benefitting from increased concerns for the welfare of college student-athletes. The Gophers got an early taste, literally, this summer.
