Diversity in sports is seen as something that should be pushed more as it is something that is less common in sports but should be incorporated more in the athletics. This would be beneficial to the players and allows for equality throughout the sport. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

@krayg006 @edavidsonhed It’s crazy to think that adults treat students this way but it’s definitely something that does happen and that we should pay more attention to as it is unfair to the student athlete who is also trying to do their best to learn and complete their education while being in a sport.

@e_cee007 @edavidsonhed I definitely agree with you! There is lots of pressure put out for athletes to be a certain way and live up to a certain standard which affects them negatively.

[Alexis @Alexisr162]

Many athletes are held to a high standard for their athletics but not in their education. This is because of the low standards put out for them in this particular area as sports is seen to be their #1 priority. This is something that we should change. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

Student athletes have a very hard time balancing sports and school together. They are placed with a huge amount of stress in order to be the best in both area which is sometimes seen as impossible to them. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

There are more funds directed to college athletics rather than other educational programs due to high price ranges needed to pay these funds. There was a $2.1 billion budget for the athletics in Kentucky which was the highest compared to other programs. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed
