Show WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY HI 21, 6 - DIXIESUNNEWS.COM Division BY limits scholarship coverage, meal plans II JONN HOLLAND trippyjedi Student athletes at Dixie State University plan their own daily meals instead of having a meal plan because the athletics program is Division II and not Division Athletic Director Jason Boothe said the big difference between Division I and Division II teams is Division I schools have the funding to provide their athletes with "full-ride- " scholarships which include tuition, room and board and meals. "We don't have a single student athlete that's on a full ride," Boothe said. "Not one that's getting everything paid for." The school gives scholarships for tuition, books and some students get rooms as part of their scholarship, and food is an area DSU provides very little to none of because funding is not available provides more flexibility. Without a meal plan, a student athlete can get the food he or she wants that can give them energy individually because everybody gets energy from food in different ways, Price said. Athletic Training Coordinator Kelby Hotheins said, "With some teams we do have some nutritional services and counseling through Intermountain Health Care that come over and do a presentation give up to 86 scholarships. "You can have 86 guys on the roster with a full ride," Boothe said. "Division II, that same number is 36, so that's a big difference. That's 50 guys you can't give scholarships to. We can have a football roster of 36 guys that are on a full ride, but can you have a football team of 36? No. Not a very good one. If two or three get hurt, you're in trouble." Meals are provided to student athletes at away games, but at school and in their daily lives, they are responsible for feeding themselves, Boothe said.

"You kind of have to plan and know when you have class," Price said. "If you have class right before practice, you're going to have to take some food with you to class."
