Stanford's football advantage?

Stanford researchers' cooling glove 'better than steroids'

The researchers applied the cooling method to other types of exercise – bench press, running, cycling. In every case, rates of gain in recovery were dramatic, without any evidence of the body being damaged by overwork – hence the "better than steroids" claim. Versions of the glove have since been adopted by the Stanford football and track and field teams, as well as other college athletics programs, the San Francisco 49ers, the Oakland Raiders and Manchester United soccer club.

I read the article and watched the video and found myself fascinated by this study.

The prevention of heat related deaths would be the best feature.

Someone put some tax money into this so the AF can buy it and hopefully my PT score will go up.

Talk about a training aid ! Once again I find that I'm in the wrong business - If true, the top BCS teams should (will?) be falling all over themselves to get this into their weight rooms.
