I want to shout out my facilitator, Jessica Drinnon, for going above and beyond and making my day by taking her lunch break to bring me a birthday treat. Jessica has been an amazing facilitator! Thank you for making my birthday special!

@FitbitSupport My Fitbit heart rate monitor stopped working. Reset multiple times then did a factory reset and now it says it can’t find my Fitbit versa 2 . I need help.
@EddieComeaux It’s not fair for the NCAA to gain profit from an athlete while refusing to help them in a number of ways. Allowing athletes to benefit from the profits would be a good first step in getting athletes the compensation they deserve #athleteinclusion
@lovetolearn345 @Songling_GSOE I agree, I think that student athletes should be able to choose their path. If they want to choose easy classes let that be their choice. I think it is important for them to have a backup plan as most of them won’t make it big. #UCR150 @Songling_GSOE
Athletes are pushed to take easy classes and majors so they can stay eligible, this is just proof that the colleges and the NCAA care more about the athlete than the student and that is not right. #UCR150 @Songling_GSOE
@ytann001 @Songling_GSOE I agree, I think it is for show so that the NCAA can say they are putting athletics first but in reality they are just looking out for themselves and what is best for them. #UCR150 @Songling_GSOE
Athletes are told that athletics come first but then are pushed towards easy majors to make sure that they will stay academically qualified for their sport. This gives the idea that athletes are too dumb to make it on their own. #UCR150 @Songling_GSOE
@OhHaiMegannn @Songling_GSOE I agree with you. It is one thing to want them to transfer for academics as well as athletics but to say they need to adjust? I mean, we all adjusted from high school to college just fine and that’s a pretty big jump. @saragrummert#ucr150
For the most part the transfer rules are fair. The only thing I disagree with is the one year residency to allow them to “adjust to their environments” It is important that they don’t just transfer for athletic reasons but the former is ridiculous @saragrummert#ucr150
@xstephramirez1 @Songling_GSOE It’s sad that colleges will do anything to save money including risking the health and safety of athletes and students. Their first priority should be the safety of its students not money and liability. #ucr150@saragrummert
Schools are always looking for the short cut and that includes concussions. Students are afraid to let their coach know about their concussion because there is no promise of them coming back or coach puts them in before they are ready. Not okay. #ucr150@saragrummert
@ytann001 @Songling_GSOE I agree, I think it is wrong that schools don’t want to take responsibility for them cutting funding or sports and instead blame Title IX. It’s not okay. #ucr150@saragrummert
Title IX was intended to help women and to make it more equal, especially in sports. Unfortunately, sometimes it isn’t used correctly and title IX is blamed for the loss or deletion of male sports. #ucr150@saragrummert
@OhHaiMegannn @Songling_GSOE I agree with you but I don’t think it should be that way. The only reason they are in business are because of the students. Unfortunately, there are so many consequences against students that they are afraid to fight back. #ucr150@saragrummert
@christyng22 @Songling_GSOE To me the worst part of it is that they take advantage of young athletes who are looking forward to pursuing and succeeding in academics and athletics. It’s cheap, petty, and unfair. #ucr150@saragrummert
It’s unfair how all the rules are formed towards the players. Meaning that these rules protect the colleges and the NCAA rather than the player. Even if a player is compensated by a scholarship the rules make it so the players money can be taken away. #ucr150@saragrummert
