Pretty sure they don't get to eat for free at campus restaurants. Even after 2014 I'm pretty sure they just had normal flex points for those restaurants just like the rest of the students. I think where the rule change came into effect was them getting food outside of meals. For example the common area for student athletes always had tons of snacks and food. I think before the rule change there were more limits on what athletes could get for free outside of meals.
It sounds like the schools get to determine what's in/out, and it's different at every place. The article I posted mentions Oregon/Wisconsin got to select.
