Sleeping in the same bed with a teammate for travel meets (College)

It's only gay if you're gay.

My team slept four to a room so you would normally share a bed. I remember one person being uncomfortable about it so she would get an extra blanket and sleep on the floor.

If it makes you uncomfortable, find a way to deal.

High school we shared beds and that was no problem. College we had out own beds. Rich program.

Is this the coaches being tight with money?

Is this a normal practice or against NCAA rules?

Does this make some athletes uncomfortable?

MY GOD. How guarded were you as a child? Did you never sleep over a friend's house or have relatives your age stay the night and share a bed.

stay off my lawn.

Pics?

Sharing a bed with another man may be fine for sleeping, but I would not do it in the nude.

You can flip a coin to decide who gets to go sans clothes.

My coach once took myself (i'm a dude) and a girl on a trip to Peyton Jordan (we ran for a school in the midwest) and the school had only booked 2 rooms. My coach got a room, and my room had only a king bed. I slept in it with the girl from my team and we hooked up. Both of us PR'd that weekend, but neither ran very fast.

Yet another proof that letsrun is full of rapists.

Same. We would fight over who got the smallest runners to share a bed with in high school.

In college we would fight to not room with the snoring hogs. To my knowledge we only hooked up with girls/guys from other schools on trips.

Down to your name, this is gold.

AHAH

Yeah, it’s normal. If you don’t like it, bring a sleeping bag and sleep in the floor or couch.

Jonesy and Riley covered this on Letterkenny. The context was for hockey teams travelling but it still applies.

"You can sleep hole to hole, or pole to pole. But never pole to hole."

I bet you have sex with men

Yep, perfectly normal for collegiate programs with tight budgets. As a coach, preCOVID was 4 to a room, now it's only 2, but that means less people travel. When I was an athlete, sometimes we'd be 6 to a room. I always took the floor.

Yes it is normal. Many schools will go three to a room for youngest athletes to stretch a budget at the DI level. Outside the DI level (and some DI schools) will go four to a room out of necessity.

I have even worked at a school that had a policy where athletes could not have their own hotel room. The budget was not super tight, but only seven traveled to XC championship meets. Odd number meant the projected 5,6,7 athletes shared a room and 6,7 shared a bed.

To answer your questions: It is common, many have done it. The coaches are being tight, most likely, but the other option is travel less people (the budget is the budget). It is not against NCAA rules. It probably makes some people uncomfortable; if it make you uncomfortable that is a you problem and not a coaches problem.
