@derek_lpz @abhornUCRedu Hello Derek, I totally agree with you as I go over the same issues on my post. It is only fair that everyone gets that fair chance no matter their skin color or race. That should never determine the “allowance” of what Africans Americans can and cannot do. #ucr150

I believe that African American athletes should have the same recognition as all other athletes. Along with the same education opportunities, no race or color should be detected upon if they are valued enough to be given the same treatment/opportunities. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@JLiang62455 @abhornUCRedu Hello, I agree. Athletes are still students in the end of the day and should have the ability to pick and choose their path. If it’s changing it or moving completely away. Tagging on financial issues aswell does not seem most convenient for the athletes. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

[Angela Macias @Angnizzle081]

The NCAA takes from the athletes like no other, while the athletes are already restricted from plenty of other possibilities from their contract, adding financial struggles to their long list of hardships is absurd. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@AlejandraGgarc @annaaacha Hello!
Great response to this weeks readings and lecture, I appreciate how strongly you feel for the free being of college athletes, I agree with you. I believe they do enough to be a college athlete as it is, so freely transferring should be an option.@abhornUCRedu #ucr150

The NCAA requires from college athletes almost an arm and a leg in my point of view, but even with that they are restricted to make personal choices like being able to transfer if chose to. But not without a risky process to do so, seems fairly wrong to me. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@Samiya370850 @abhornUCRedu Hello Samiya,
I enjoyed your expression on this weeks topic! I wonder, if you were a player and you just found this out about your coach how would you feel? Would you not care, or rather have an educated coach to make sure your team plays safe? #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

@duggan_lindsay5 @annaaacha Hello Lindsay
I have a question, what do you think the NCAA could do to become better at this and help the players?Besides learning the basics of concussions at least, what is something that could players could benefit from the coaches educating themselves?#ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

[Angela Macias @Angnizzle081]

With coaches not being educated for the safety of their players, it puts a huge risk of injuries occurring as coaches would not know how to teach plays to try and prevent concussions. For the NCAA not to take this seriously is crazy, but not surprising. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@BuclingBum17 @annaaacha What do you think? From the readings and lecture how do you see the law and the actual actions that are being taken? Do you think they actually cooperate with the law/titles? Or do you see it as they never existed/are ignored? @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

[Angela Macias @Angnizzle081]

1972 after the IX title was passed it was given extreme value for sports as it is now given the “equal” opportunity between men and women. But, even with the law we know it’s still not equal. But atleast women were given scholarship opportunities by 1973.

@Lexie1945351 @abhornUCRedu @abhornUCRedu I believe we could support students with their mental health and their academics by allowing them to have more control into their personal life. Having certain requirements as an athlete, perhaps having them have a mindset aside from sports could be healthy #ucr150

[Angela Macias @Angnizzle081]

@abhornUCRedu failing to adhere to the NLI terms makes athletes ineligible to joins sports for 2 years. They are not required to sign an NLI, they do it to feel like they are protected by the university, when in reality it protects the university not much the player. #ucr150

@andreyag333 @abhornUCRedu @abhornUCRedu #ucr150 Similar to the NCAA, the concept of a cartel suggests complete control over a market. Seen as cartel-like, NCAA policies restrict athlete rights and freedoms by controlling payand privileges.

My interests were on Shabazz Napier’s and other athletes going through hungry nights, no guaranteed medical benefits, and only funding a year scholarships with no promise of a renewal. This was at Uconn that is funded by multimillion basketball institution. #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

@lisscastrom @annaaacha Hello, @lisscastrom ,
I agree with this! No change was being made and it was great to see that they wanted to see a change even if it was not supported by all. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

[Angela Macias @Angnizzle081]

With the criticism of the amateurism, are athletes going to be okay? As they are not met with all their needs like medically, educational, etc @abhornUCRedu #ucr150
