One thing I've been wondering. How are student athletes who are basically living below the poverty line able to consume so many calories that they turn into athletic freaks?

Because most get scholarships that help pay for meal plans. And in my Uni, the cafe is $8 for lunch and dinner and is all you can eat.

in the ncaa division 1 student athletes have full meal plans paid for as part of the scholarships. (assuming that they are on full scholarship)

This. Also the D1 athletes at my old uni had unlimited access to supplements

Most student athletes I know, especially the ones who make it on college teams come from rich families, so I'm assuming money isn't a problem for them.
