[quote=Anonymous]Husband played on a D1 team in college. He said 90% of parents showed up for home games and about 50% for away games. Other than a player bringing in a treat his mom had baked, no parents ever provided snacks. Lots of the parents threw parties for the team, though, and fed them before big games. The team always got special team meals, but sometimes the parents would get together and throw special parties before big rivalry games. All snacks were provided through their funding. This was at a university known for their athletics, so the athletes were treated very, very well there. My niece does gymnastics at a D1 school, but it's not a popular sport there, so their funding isn't that great. They have no team meals or snacks provided. They get their competition leos and warm-up suits provided, but her friends who are athletes on more popular sports teams at the school get tons of swag. [/quote]
