Aren't those heart rate/vitals monitors? Not sure why they had to make them look like sports bras.

While we laugh at them…they are busy using a system that is so sophisticated that Swasey wouldn't even be able to turn it on. This system allowed Rashad Green, in his own words, to be 100% fresh for every game last year. It was able to tell their data analysts that his work load was too big on Wed/Thurs, so the coaches lightened it. The result was a batter player on Saturdays. They also avoided, as a team, a tremendous amount of soft tissue injuries because of it.
I'm not one to immediately discount this stuff (although this version looks beyond fruity) but sometimes people exaggerate the effectiveness of new technology. Oregon is always leading with this stuff and they have as many NC football trophies in their case as FIU.

eh, kind of. I mean, sure, they don't have trophies but you're fooling yourself if you don't think all this branding/technology/$ into infrastructure hasn't catapulted them into the top tier of CFB the past ~10 years.
Partially. I'm thinking no real budgetary constraints along with hitting on a good head coach combined with some questionable recruiting tactics played a bigger role than any John Brenkus Sport Science type training diagnostics.
Look at Rocky IV. Drago had all this stuff too. He still lost.

Right…but FSU has been doing this for over a year, whipped our *** last year, and won the national championship. So…not sure I see your point. Stuff sometimes takes trial and error. This trend seems to be catching on--for the schools that can afford it--quite pricey.
This makes sense. I had heard rumblings that FSU requested their National Championship rings be modified into belly button rings.

Didn't watch the whole thing but I noticed some of the Bills were wearing normal shirts not bras. Why did they have to go with the women's track team version of this high tech monitoring system?
