Giving nearly 70 athletes treat ments and taping 440 male ankles a day might be every girl's dream, but for physical therapist George Sullivan and trainer Paul Schnei der, it's the job they face every day of the football season. Sullivan and Schneider, of course, have help from the physical training staff as they attempt to keep Nebraska's athletes healthy and as a result, Big Red fans happy. Working with a budget of $110,000, of which about 80 per cent goes to football, the training staff uses nearly 73,320 yards of adhesive tape a year in addition to 50 sheets of 14-inch foam measur ing three feet by four feet, according to Sullivan. Also used are sausage casings, one for each of the 440 ankles taped every day, to protect the skin from irritation, Sullivan said. When the football team works out twice a day, the number of casings used also doubles. Tape and tape supplies (like the casings) add up to $20,000 of the budget, according to Schneider.
