The UK men's basketball team has Wildcat Lodge. Its a pretty awesome *cough cough* dorm fixed with: buffet, couple big screens, extra large sofas and chairs for the 7 footers, some digital gadgets so they can watch their previous games, etc. Its pretty awesome. THe only way to get into the lodge is by key code. At all times their is an RA who works the desk, and two non-ahtletic students who also stay in the lodge *so its not discrimminating*.
If the players didn't have the lodge they would be stalked constantly. So I'm glad its there. Plus, I'm not ashamed to say that if I thought giving them money would make them win an NCAA chamionship ..... I'm all about it.
None of the other sporst have dorms like this, or at least not to this extent.
