Race will play a big aspect in athletes plans for the future, especially depending on the type of degree the athlete gets if they have finished college.

@ImDario27 @TA_ED50 I couldn't agree more most college athletes don't even have time for a job, if they needed the money to help support themselves in college they have to rely on family or other sources

What I found socking this weeks in lecture video is the power five conference, and how little power college athletes have in the NCAA (3.1% of voting power)

@sanvyopop @abhornUCRedu I think a good way to keep equality going to make sure the women and men player of any team get the same benefits/ funding.

I think it is still important to strive for equality when it also comes to college awareness and support for the college

@dhern313 @KatryaLy I wonder if that’s because they think of them as competitors more than teammates/ freinds @abhornUCRedu #UCR50

[Aadam Almarez @AAlmarez80596]

I think its important to apply a climate that allow all types of people to feel comfortable on any team no matter what your skin color is.

@GraeHail @TA_ED50 I definitely believe one thing that could help turn away. enhancing drugs is having more representation of mental health for athletes. I believe most people who turn to drugs are people who are not mentally well in some way.

I feel that cause athletes, and do need some special commendations because they are representing the college in a sense. As in certain buildings stay open longer for athlete students like dining halls and libraries

@edisonpark333 @KatryaLy I think one change that would be important to making this into reality would be changing the times that college games happen so that way student athletes can study at reasonable hours as well as get enough sleep for school.

I found it shocking that College Athletes have to change or pick a Major that will not be too much work in order to keep their grade up to play in games. (pic is form a video)

@BrookeTenney5 @TA_ED50 I also found it crazy how much coaches are able to make compared to average teachers. I also wonder if they make more than the chancellors at schools they work at?

Do college always have such powerful connections in the government or does it depends on which college is asking for the favor?

@viveanbonales @KatryaLy Most of this pressure is not just only the NACC's fault because they can feel the pressure from their cultural or family backgrounds, and other situations in their life

When deciding what college I wanted to apply to. I did not take into account how the well the athletics program at the schools were. Instead I look at grad schools that the college offers.
