In college football recruiting, you can’t rely on tradition and wins to capture the imagination of potential players.

Programs are adding crazy features like lazy rivers to their football facilities to attract young stars.

Here are two recent additions.

At Texas, they're reinventing the locker. New coach Tom Herman says there are "six different patents" on new lockers, which instead of nameplates have TVs featuring player highlights.

At Clemson, a new football complex adds a mini-golf course, along with basketball and beach volleyball courts, to options for players to relax outside one of the largest facilities in the country.

The biggest attraction, however, is an indoor two-story slide.
