@jennrosales_@ElissaMMonteiro It's hard for me to understand how the NCAA even after the law suits and demands from college athletes, somehow find a way to deny them fair financial compensation. It doesn't seem to matter which angle you come at it from, the NCAA doesn't want to budge. It's exploitive #ucr150
When looking at cases such as the one in this article, detailing how student athletes, similar to work study students, should simply be paid for their hours is humbling. The NCAA doesn't want to pay athletes and it's very clear. https://t.co/pG7R46r7Yd @ElissaMMonteiro#ucr150
in a list of illogical and totally arbitrary things the ncaa practices, students that transfer have to sit out for a year. It seems that yet again, students aren’t put at the forefront. transfers already feel setback, this is just an addition. @ElissaMMonteiro#ucr150
if you want to understand the culture around student athletes not reporting concussions, look to the NCAA. There is a lack of concussion education and accountability when athletes get hurt. how is that a report encouraging environment? @ElissaMMonteiro#ucr150
@ipiva01@ElissaMMonteiro ivana i totally agree with you. trainers, coaches, and athletes need to be better educated in spotting/treating concussions. i believe if the ncaa created a healthier environment to report, more athletes could be properly treated. #ucr150
@APonce111 @ElissaMMonteiro Hi Angel! i totally agree that title IX has been key in expanding participation. I found it interesting that many have taken title IX and painted it as this piece of legislation that is harming sports when in reality it’s intended to bring equity. #ucr150
while title IX has done it's job to increase the participation of women in sports, when we look at the distribution and quality of scholarships, equipment and facilities, most colleges are noncompliant, treating it as a suggestion @ElissaMMonteiro#ucr150

@jennrosales_@ElissaMMonteiro hi jennifer! “disappointing but not surprising” is exactly it! I know signing day has always been a big deal and happy day for many but it’s so disappointing to hear this is but another restrictive ploy set up by the NCAA to gain control of student athletes :( #ucr150
Signing day has always been a celebration but what we don't see is that NLIs aren't beneficial to athletes. Rather, they are built to protect the university and too often they are used to control athletes and give the coaches power. @ElissaMMonteiro#ucr150
@yulissaanavarro@ElissaMMonteiro i totally agree yulissa! i’m starting to see that this model of amateurism only exists to keep athletes unpaid rather than an act of “leveling the field.” i’m excited to see some change, these students deserve so much better. the ncaa could not exist without their talent! #ucr150
Under NCAA’s amateur model, student athletes (primarily Black students) are unable to profit from their own labor. & With the graduation rate for Black athletes at 52%, many live a life of poverty after college. @ElissaMMonteiro#ucr150 https://t.co/2R94MORAph
@SeanLopezUCR @ElisaMMonteiro I definitely agree Sean. Along with other regulations such as athletes cannot be paid based on their performance is a little counter intuitive and purposefully restrictive. I would like to know more about the intentions of such regulations. #ucr150
the racial injustice of college sports is due to the exploitive nature of the NCAA. By pushing the “amateur” objective, student athletes aren’t able to be compensated for their labor. when quite literally, the NCAA could not exist without their talent #ucr150@ElissaMMonteiro
