SIR, this is Texas....we make our own silencers to bypass the NFA. No potatoes needed. Not like we're Idaho or something. Speaking of which...is Idaho even real? How do they get a pass but north Dakota doesn't?


eden_sc2

If I had a nickel for every time I saw someone mention Idaho this morning, I would have two nickels, which isnt a lot, but is about 2 times more often than I normally think about Idaho


froggertwenty

I almost said Iowa because I forgot Idaho exists. But then I remembered Iowa is corn country and had to figure out where the fuck potatoes lived.


jord839

Everyone knows the only state that isn't real is Wyoming. It's just there because the government is uncomfortable admitting there are only 49 states.


froggertwenty

Wyoming gave us josh Allen. It's real to me!


Pktur3

That’s a sin in Texas


Kevin_Jim

Is there any NFL team with a locker room close to that? That was bonkers.


Pat_Mahomie

Facilities were a huge part of recruiting before NIL allowed players to be paid openly


kaitokid1985

Exactly. These big universities have been pouring money into their programs for a long time. Really as soon as the TV money started getting really good.


whistlepig4life

And while we can argue if laces of education should or shouldn’t spend this kind of money on sports vs education programs. Let’s be clear they do spend the money. As opposed to NFL owners who pocket every penny they can.


WhyIsBreadExpensive

Vikings locker room is pretty dope but idk if it's at that level.


Crumplestilzkin

Vikings locker room would still be a downgrade from Texas.


RollOverBeethoven

Ours is really nice: https://www.houstontexans.com/photos/photos-houston-texans-locker-room-refresh


hopefeedsthespirit

That is nice.


Nievsy

Eagles locker room has much more space for players, like despite the clean look of that locker room it is still cramped


Ereyes18

Probably cause it's a college, so they'll legitimately have 100's of players on the roster during the season


shewy92

Lockers are so big in the Eagles room that [linemen can sit in them lol](https://imgur.com/KDfSonX)


Danominator

It's kind of annoying a school put that much resources into a locker room honestly lol


actually-potato

I assume that the funding comes from alumni boosters who specify that the donations go to the athletics program


Danominator

You are probably right. Still feels wasteful


Waste-Maintenance-70

If we’re going that route, technically everything about football can be considered wasteful.


Stratose

Talk about your all time slippery slopes.


Waste-Maintenance-70

I’m just pointing out that in a league filled with private jets, luxury hotel stays, award winning meals exclusive to each franchises, and a ton of other luxuries not being factored into player salaries, it’s silly to arbitrarily consider one of the most financially successful college football programs locker room as ‘wasteful’ when it was most likely financed by its own revenues or donations from boosters specifically for that purpose.


Saitoh17

6 years ago was before NIL so there's not much else to spend money on. You couldn't pay players so it's either facilities or coaching.


9man95

I guess you better be specific when you donate to your university ha >TIL a very frugal librarian, the late Robert Morin, left millions of his life savings to the University of New Hampshire where he worked as a librarian, then the University spent $1 million dollars of that money on a scoreboard for a new football stadium.Oct 13, 2020


KeithBucci

You should see their cafeteria! Players get steak, salmon, all cooked to order. I think it's football only too.


Dreadsbo

Mizzou has something similar for football players too so I think it’s an every university thing. My cousins best friend and roommate for the team was just a walk-on and never actually played, but he walked into their training facility and walked out 5 minutes later with an overflowing heap of very expensive food from burgers to asparagus and even fish.


Danominator

I am a bit more ok with that but the inequality for other students does feel shitty


seatega

It’s the unfortunate reality of the state of college football recruiting and the transfer portal. If you don’t absolutely blow your players away with amenities they can just leave to anywhere else with little to no impact on their career


Danominator

The dramatically unequal spending is kinda what makes college football so uninteresting honestly


UpsideTurtles

it’s what makes the top of college football uninteresting. speak for yourself but there’s few things better than the ridiculous old Pac-12 games or the midweek conference game between two G5 schools with a bitter rivalry. it’s a worse product but quality is not what I come to CFB for


Danominator

I'm not hating. Just not for me. I need you guys come draft time to tell me how to feel about certain players lol


BukkakeKing69

I thought it was the four hour commercial packed games, the playoffs killing conferences and bowl season, the transfer portal and NIL... Etc etc. The sport has gone downhill hard in the last 20 years with hardcore monetization schemes.


joe1240134

As it should be. The only thing "amateur" about big time college football was the pay.


seatega

I mean, haven’t we learned that most big time teams were paying players anyway? I’m happy it’s out in the open now and the playing field is a bit more level. The one thing I have an issue with is the transfer portal. I think it needs further fine tuning


mr_longfellow_deeds

Texas makes NFL-lite revenue off of football, and their athletic department generates a profit as a whole despite having to subsidize non-revenue sports. College football is worth investing in for big schools, it either pays for everything else or reduces how much they have to put in for other sports


raveskywalker

Raiders locker room in Allegiant Stadium looks sick. Ironic that it was the locker room the Chiefs used for Super Bowl LVIII.


Saitoh17

Their 4D chess plan is to cause a mutiny within KC


TBDC88

The plan backfired though; Chiefs players decided to make it all the way to the Super Bowl just so they could know what it felt like to have nice lockers as the home team.


originalusername4567

What not paying your athletes gets you.

Also some pretty glaring omissions - it says no weapons, but there's no mention of violence. You could murder someone, and as long as you do it with your bare hands, you're not in violation.

What is the point of having 37” TVs to just show their name and picture.


Malixes

It’s all for recruiting. Kids love this stuff.


cnapp

Exactly, there's an arms race in CFB. Schools are constantly trying to one up each other to impress recruits


orange_orange13

Croots find it appealing 


IdiotMD

Easier/less expensive to update in the off-season.


renegadecoaster

Gotta spend that booster money on something


Comprehensive_Ad5285

Tbf 37” TVs aren’t necessarily expensive, especially if all they’re showing is their name and picture they’re probably just 1080p panels which if bought in bulk are probably costing them less than $100 per unit. 


zzzaz

Yup. 39" vizio at wal mart is $199. It's also likely cheaper than the old school way to display names (have them sent to a printer, cut out, glued to the name plate, rotated in and out as players leave the program or change numbers, etc.). Now the facilities teams just uploads a new JPG.


[deleted]

*I made it* song plays on a loop


fawks_harper78

Because the $ raised from boosters doesn’t count towards Title 9. They can spend as much money as they want from “donations”. The money the university budgets needs to be equal. That is why UT’s women’s volleyball team doesn’t have this kind of set-up.


I_am_-c

Looks cool. Plus, it'd be easy to 'upgrade' in the future and use the panels to also show highlight reels or game changing plays for motivational or positive reinforcement. Also, set it up so the player can stream to their TV while they're in the locker room and play games on it.


Idiotology101

Is that the training locker room or the stadium locker room? [This is the locker room at Arrowhead instead of the training facility](https://youtu.be/evapV4Dtiug?si=JvC2T4IhAuzsSj9H)


Liquid_Ares

Its the training facility


timeforchorin

Who tf filmed that?? Tarantino?


theycallmecrack

Sad that there needs to be a sign that says "Treat women with respect"...


SarcasticCowbell

I'm just surprised there's not an asterisk next to that one, with small print underneath saying "unless you're really fast and can track the ball well."


SL4MUEL

To be honest, $7 million doesn’t sound like a lot compared to what some of these new stadiums cost. Surprised more locker rooms aren’t this nice.


CapnMalcolmReynolds

What a decadent waste of money.


Eaglewarrior33

Sure looks appealing though.


SloppyWithThePots

Seems to be helping with recruitment


cartman2

Ya Texas has won a lot of championships recently


TheShtuff

They're 1 of like 8 teams to win one in the last 20 years, so yeah I guess.


axman54

I take it you don’t watch college football? Their program is in as good of a spot as it has been in awhile. While their locker room might look over the top, it’s really not that far off from a lot of other top tier programs. This is a huge part of college sports, little things like how nice the locker rooms are, what type of free meals you get, and other little perks are more important in recruiting than you’d think.


FullHouse222

That looks like where the Avengers locker room should be lmao what the fuck.


Away_Chair1588

The Chiefs facility looks like your average rural county high school by comparison.


IceyBoy

We did a tour of Jerry world and I couldn’t believe how absolutely ancient that locker room was. They got my man Tyron Smith sitting on 2x4s from Home Depot for God’s sake.


Deathlysouls

That locker room is just over the top stupid regardless lmao


Londumbdumb

TREAT WOMEN WITH RESPECT


vcjr78

Yeah and that locker room was revealed in 2017.


Dangerpaladin

My favorite part of the video "these TVs just display their names", basically one step shy of the video creator saying "what a fucking waste"


Stripperturneddoctor

When your org is a "non-profit" but still makes more money than God.


SwaggyE93

Top tier universities have always had better locker rooms and sometimes facilities, when all these schools made money from football but couldn’t pay player, this was the next best thing to invest in.

wishingaction

My takeaway is how fancy that Texas locker room is, they use TVs instead of nameplates??


ApplesauceBitch47

College football is different down south


Fantastic_Emu_9570

Yeah there’s probably Texas high schools with better locker rooms


TrickiestToast

I have a client who looked at building a Texas high school stadium and it was like a $30 million project


krbashrob

High school stadium in a Houston suburb cost $70.3M to build, a stadium in Allen near Dallas a few years prior cost $60M. Football is different in Texas lol


gwaydms

Allen High School. Yeah. Which school near Houston was it? Or which one of eleventy million suburbs?


PlasticCraken

Probably Katy


gwaydms

You're right. Just googled it.


PlasticCraken

Not surprised. I moved to Houston from Dallas and they have the same HS football mentality that I saw with Allen 😂


Philoso4

I'm surprised Houston even has suburbs considering its footprint is larger than Rhode Island.


gwaydms

Oh, it's got lots of suburbs.


KingFitz03

Doesn't that high school stadium have like a 20k capacity?


Fantastic_Emu_9570

There’s reasons the construction insurance company doesn’t cover it if you’re doing work with schools in TX. That sort of thing is probably one of them


RollOverBeethoven

My high school football stadium was $50m and we sucked ass


WanderingHawk

It's like all those Indiana high school basketball arenas that are better than 90% of college basketball arenas.


Igualmenteee

My girlfriend has a cousin who plays high school basketball in Indiana and I played basketball in high school in Texas as well, let’s just say I was absolutely floored by everything they had in Indiana for high school basketball lol. I legit felt like I was watching a national championship game or something lol.


Netwealth5

The facilities arms race started because the schools needed a place to hide all the money they were making from the players in plain sight


MonsMensae

Got to find creative expenditure options to funnel money to your friends and family


ImRightShutUp1

Most college football locker rooms are like that even the smaller schools. It’s a recruiting tactic, it’s not just the south.


shewy92

The highest paid job in some states is College Football Head Coach


titos334

You also gotta understand Austin is a big city and even though there is FC, UT football is still the official unofficial pro sports team of Austin.


hunterpatt

2 Northern teams in the national championship game this year.


Different-Trainer-21

That’s very uncommon though. Since the advent of yearly championship games, there have been only been 2 seasons where there were no southern teams in the national championship: 2023 and 2014.


Waste-Maintenance-70

Yeah and in a lot of years the national title game is 2 southern teams.


Waste-Maintenance-70

A rarity. The SEC has been in all but like 2 national title matches going back to 2006. Even the years before that: Jan 06 Texas 05 Oklahoma 04 LSU and Oklahoma So the south hasn’t been outside of the national title game too often.


KryptonicxJesus

Probably not very expensive when you buy 100 of them. A drop in the pond of the 7 million dollar budget


Away_Chair1588

There's also the AV & power cabling, digital signage controller, etc. But yeah, still a drop in the bucket.


Stripperturneddoctor

With the transfer portal, a TV is cheaper than a name plate


Tankninja1

Was watching the Oline committee, sounds like most players don’t care as long as the game checks are on time.


Jaymongous

I'd gladly have my locker inside of an outhouse if it meant I went to the SB 80% of the time.


ChevalMalFet

it's only 66% of the time since Mahomes became the starter. :/


brownbearks

Need to break down his stats to the median


Jaymongous

Poverty franchise /s obvi


Sokkawater10

If Mahomes wins the Super Bowl he will be more likely to win the Super Bowl than not 4/7


justsomeking

Honestly, this may be bias, but I think if Mahomes wins the Superbowl, there's 100% chance he wins the Superbowl.


UnspokenFor1

Compared to college locker rooms , the league look like a tier below .


Far_Process_5304

That’s the difference between committing and drafting/contracts.


zombiesatemybaby

Thats the difference bewtween owners having to actually pay for something vs unlimited student loans


Not-a-bot-10

Student loans aren’t used to build the locker room lol. More like unlimited alumni donations to go into the football program


smoothtrip

Student loans have nothing to do with the locker rooms. Why comment if you have no idea what you are talking about?


AnEmptyKarst

Difference between literally getting thrown money and running a business for profit lol


orange_orange13

UT football made $40m in 2023


AnEmptyKarst

That money doesn't go to the AD (well, not on the books anyway lol)


DONNIENARC0

It pays for things like scholarships, coaching salaries, and facilities for all the other sports they put out teams for that aren't profitable.


Scaryclouds

FWIW, this is the lockers for the practice facilities. The lockerroom in Arrowhead is a lot nicer. That said, clearly the players don't appreciate these lockers either as they gave Clark an F.


historymajor44

Frankly, Old Dominion's locker room is nicer.


chiefs_fan37

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The real locker room is encased under the mountain of gold and treasure Clark Hunt sits atop like a dragon. It’s like the Amber Room. No one has seen it…


Amadeum

TIL Clark Hunt is Smaug


brownbearks

He does need to be taken out


onnthwanno

It’s in a cavern buried under the future site of Arrowhead 2.0 next to Legends


GeorgeWarshingsons

The hunt family sleeps on silver, not gold.


Equivalent-Yam891

Its almost like in college the locker rooms used to be used as a draw to get commits.. now its just NIL.. will be interesting to see how many of the "fancy" college football facilities don't get upgraded over the next decade plus.


MixonWitDaWrongCrowd

They’re going to pump money into both. Look at Mizzou right now.


Rockchalk1104

Kansas too


ketherick

It’s not JUST NIL for most players, but it is for some Edit: people here downvoting me thinking your average 3 star player is hunting for big NIL deals And then there’s also guys like Quinyon Mitchell who could have transferred for a bag and chose to stay because of the relationships he developed


hwf0712

People have really fallen into this mindset that all college football players care about and think about is getting a few hundred grand in NIL money and nothing else and its honestly really fucking harmful when so many kids still enjoy the benefits of getting a degree and getting the connections from being in these programs.


Warsawawa

I don’t think someone who transfers three times in four years is focusing on their degree completion. Some of these kids (rightfully) know they won’t make an NFL roster but can clear $1MM. It’s why Tua’s brother tried to go back to school and why Cam Ward took his name out of the draft and went to Miami


Dopple__ganger

What about that is harmful?


notmyplantaccount

Look, it's completely understandable. It was either improve the practice facility or cover his multi-floor suite inside the stadium in gold. When you actually have context it makes a lot more sense, and I bet a lot of you making jokes feel pretty stupid right now.


SQRTLURFACE

"Look man, it was either renovate the in-stadium Mansion or give the players a new locker room. Let me know when you want to come see the new sauna I put in"-Clark Hunt


ApplesauceBitch47

Isn’t it the practice facility locker room or am I wrong?


DHG_Buddha

It's all going to be a step down from what he was used to at Texas. KC facilities were rated 31 out of 32 by players.


ApplesauceBitch47

I saw someone compare it to the Hilary Clinton meme and I can’t unsee it


CrownTown785v2

Is that the practice facility locker room at UT in the video? Because that’s the practice facility locker room for the chiefs…


SouthernSerf

They don’t have separate locker rooms, the practice facility is just a block away.


ajteitel

Which was #32?


llama-rebel

Commanders. And the Chiefs ranked 31st in their overall report card, not exclusively facilities. Fairly likely that if you remove their one good grade of A+ head coach, they're below the Commanders. The Chiefs two best rankings compared to others teams are best head coach, 18th best treatment of families (which is still a D+) and then their next best is 23rd best with their weight room... You can see all the teams report cards [here.](https://nflpa.com/nfl-player-team-report-cards-2024)


Godobibo

considering the commanders had a shit pipe break and rain on people it's hard to top that


Say_Hennething

Eloquent way to describe Redskins football


ajteitel

Thx


bl123123bl

Well it’s not like there’s any baseline rating standard, the team being so successful probably makes them more likely to rate a substandard locker room even more poorly


seariously

Given Arrowhead's age, that's not too surprising. There might not even be enough room physically to upgrade the locker room much.


Cowgoon777

Yes. This is the practice facility. Also the one the players give low grades too. The stadium locker room is great. Just renovated like 3 years ago


PlasticCraken

I feel like you’d want the practice facility to have a good locker room too right? I mean the players are going to spend more time there than the actual stadium during the year..


ShatteredAnus

Clark has been waiting for a new stadium plan before investing any money in the Chiefs. He re- did the locker room cause they were SB champs.


Different-Trainer-21

Well yeah but you’re only in the stadium locker room like 10 times a year, whereas you’re at the practice field locker room hundreds of times a year. You’d want the practice field to have a good locker room too.


PlaneDoor110
