@AngelaH19667646 @Songling_GSOE @AngelaH19667646 I agree that college-athletes should pick a mojor they are interested in, instead of just relying on sports. Institutions should push student-athletes to pursue a stem field. #ucr150 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
@cheyeljack Hey @cheyeljack, thinking back I know a few business majors as well, which are athletes. I never thought about how they are pressured and suggested to take certain majors because of the NCAA. #ucr150 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
#ucr150 Easy majors for college-athletes. Why does the NCAA and institutions feel that they should push toward certain majors. @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
@PizanoDenise @Songling_GSOE Yes! @PizanoDenise they generate the most revenue, so of course the NCAA and Universities want to make transferring impossible or at least tricky to make the athletes stay. #ucr150@saragrummert @Songling_GSOE
The NCAA creates so many rules and regulations to stipple a student-athlete to grow on an academic level. The abundance of rules creates a hard situation for the student to transfer to better their future. #ucr150 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
@esmealbacam @Songling_GSOE Absolutely 100%. Its hard enough navigating a University and a sport, but to add in an injury is overwhelming. Not enough support is available to these students. #ucr150@saragrummert @Songling_GSOE
Is putting your health at risk really worth it? Not reporting a concussion will only make the situation worse. Make the health of a student athlete a priority! #ucr150@saragrummert @Songling_GSOE
@christyng22 @Songling_GSOE @christy yes many more women joined after announcing title IX, but they are still are not given equity within the standards of Title IX. The male sports still dominate funds and resources , while women get the leftovers. #ucr150 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
Title IX was introduced to universities to promote equality within gender and sports. Still today, 80% of universities are non compliant to the standards of Title IX. What about the women behind the sports?https://t.co/iN3FYcPONx

@kathia49623621 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert Yes! This effects their life dramatically. Let the student athlete decide without pressure to think about their options. #ucr150@saragrummert @Songling_GSOE
@mariacolores3 @Songling_GSOE @mariacolores3 I completely agree. I had no idea before the reading that the athletes were on yearly renewable scholarships. They should be guaranteed a four year education scholarship to relieve pressure and stress that they already face. #ucr150 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
College athletes are taken advantage of due to a loosely defined term of amateurism.NCAA is self serving when it comes to where/how money is dispersed. Institutions should protect students rights, instead of using them for selfish purposes. #ucr150@saragrummert @Songling_GSOE
@jklouder @jklouder I never thought about how uncompensated college athletes really are during their career in college athletics. They continuously push their bodies to the limit, sacrifice aspects of their lives and can be tossed out very quickly.#ucr150@saragrummert @Songling_GSOE
With athletes speaking up and boycotting games, they are creating change in campus society leading to reform. Athletes have the means to revolt against injustices and unite campus students to push for reform. #ucr150 @Songling_GSOE @saragrummert
