                                Following a 2014 rule change, the NCAA lifted decades-old restrictions on feeding student-athletes, enabling colleges to provide unlimited meals and snacks. This was a major shift that addressed the critical nutritional needs of athletes and significantly impacted how college football players eat for free.
