Proposal would allow athletic coaches to serve meals with practices

TOLEDO, Ohio—Grocery bills across college athletics are set to increase, the result of a proposal aimed at beefing up an athlete’s access to food.

Provided this change makes it through all legislative stages of the NCAA — it would be a major upset if it does not — coaches in all sports beginning Aug. 1 of this year will be allowed to serve meals to their athletes in conjunction with practices and no longer just games or events.
