JESTER-THE NEGATIVE POWER
After the shocking statistics (last year 88% of male freshman athletes decided to leave Jester and move out of campus) and complains mentioned above it is clear that the problem starts with Jester dorm( athletes move out of it and so their grades are decreasing so much that their eligibility gets into danger). Now let us analyze Jester dorm.
First of all athletes do not have bathrooms in the room so that they have to use the community bathrooms which is many times a problem because it is too packed, and so they have to wait for their turns. On busy days athletes have to take a shower even three times a day and each time waiting 5-10 minutes can cause that they are late for classes. For example if the morning work-out finishes at 7:40 and after that they still want to take a quick shower this 5-10 minutes can be very important.
The rooms are way too small for two athletes. Even regular students complain that they have not enough space for their clothes and books. Athletes have a bunch of ¡°extra supplemental¡± like T-shirts, shorts, shoes, bags, sweatshirts, sweat-pants, windbreakers and in many cases rackets, clubs, bats; and so the room is simply over packed.
¡°Beds¡± were not designed for athletes at all. Those ¡°beds¡± are originally sleeper sofas however, their sizes does not fit anyone who is higher than 6¡¯3¡±.Obviously there are plenty of athletes taller than that.
