Yeah I don’t think this happened.

but if it did, o well.

I can look up the weight of every college football player right now.

70% of female track athletes suffer from some sort of eating disorder. Football players are not the same when it comes to weight issues or body dysmorphia

here’s one example of a student speaking out about it last year about their experience at Furman

Coach and HS teacher here. I agree we have to be sensitive to the struggles of female (and male) distance athletes.

But every summer I hear our football guys talking about how much weight they 'have to put on' in order to be considered by team X. They are being told this by college coaches at summer camps.

Opposite side of the problem, but dangerous nonetheless.

Not really dangerous. 5000 high protein calories a day plus a vigorous weight lifting regime. They are attempting to add pounds of muscle.

Yes, there are drugs that can help and these can be dangerous, but it's quite different than starving.

While Iowa State is being dragged through the mud, it’s only fair to shed some light on what’s supposedly happening at Furman under coach Rita Gary.
Rumors suggest she’s been weighing female athletes and posting their weights on a white board in a ranking system to show who’s the “skinniest.” On top of that, she’s allegedly had athletes hold 15-pound weights for extended periods, then remarked, “Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to carry that much weight around?” Insinuating if you lost some weight it would feel nicer. She has been known to do this in the past. Wouldn’t be surprised if it kicked back up again.

You gotta be kidding me wrote:

Not even remotely the same. Football players are not encouraged to starve themselves at the expense of their health, their bones, sometimes their lives. It has also been proven to not even make them any faster in most cases, but ruin performance.

You posted the worst example possible. This athlete was squatting 305 pounds before she even graduated.

Nice try. Fortunately she has a spine of steel. You won't bring her down or discredit her with false narratives. She is trying to hold the NCAA to a standard, where age limits and rosters matter.
