@mchoc006 @TA_ED50 @KatryaLy #UCR50 I agree all students regardless of race, financial status or gender should have an equal opportunity.

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

The amount of money your family or you have should not determine how good of an education you can get and neither should the color of your should the color of your skin. Educationonal opportunities. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@ccatherinelu @abhornUCRedu Hi Catherine, I agree. It seems like the NCAA has too much control over the student athlete's life. Also, the limitations placed on them seem like their rights are being stripped away just to play a sport. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

Seems like the NCAA is just out to make a profit. It is Ludacrous for student athletes to get kicked off the team for using their own image in relation to the sport they play to make a bit of money, yet the NCAA makes millions each year! Change os needed!! @KatryaLy #UCR50

@Liacast99 @TA_ED50 Hi Noelia, I think that although Title IX has created a chance for sports and higher education to equal regardless of gender, there are still many disadvantages that women face in both of these sectors. @KatryaLy #UCR50

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

The inequality within intercollegiate sports and life in general is very obvious. Even with Title IX, the scales are tipped in favor of male athletes. Giving them bigger chances of success, while women get left behind. Should Title IX be rectified?@KatryaLy #UCR50

@lisscastrom @abhornUCRedu Hi Lissette, I love the picture you chose for this post, and I agree with your perspective. Black athletes need to be better represented. They deserve equitable support and educational resources to ensure they have an equal chance at graduation. @KatryaLy #UCR50

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

Diversity within a college campus can change the climate and culture for incoming students.However,the fact that many Black athletes fail to graduate from college even with a scholarship shows that the focus needs to be drawn to ensuring students' succeed. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@iitzel_nandezz @KatryaLy It's crazy how many stereotypes exist about student athletes, and they are continually perpetuated by TV and other media outlets. Awareness should be spread about how big a workload student athletes have. @KatryaLy #UCR50

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

The bias perspective held by university faculty members in regards to the abilities of student athletes cultivates an erroneous belief that student athletes are not good students. Should colleges work towards stopping this false narrative? #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@YamileLope34105 @abhornUCRedu Hi Yamile, from my understanding, the graduation rate of student Athletes fails to reflect accurate data because the NCAA uses a different method to calculate this information, and this method does not account for transfer students. I like the photo you used. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

Student Athletes need to take between 15-18 units and spend at least 20+ hours practicing. With such high demands, is being a student athlete worth it? I mean, you get minimal pay,constant stress,and no time for anything outside athletics and academics. Thoughts?#UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

@cleidycampos050 @KatryaLy It seems Athletics in and out of an education environment are held with high regard.The sports world is almost like a brotherhood where they all look out for each other. Personally, I believe that teachers deserve a lot more pay and benefits.Sad,that it is not the case. #UCR50

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

Our lesson mentioned that universities use money from student tuitions to fund the athletic programs. Should this money be use to better the Educational programs? Is it possible doing so could give the school similar affects of recognition and Fame?#UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

@_alexander222 @KatryaLy It's crazy to fully trust the NCAA and its intentions when it comes to doing what is best for the student Athletes. I feel that most of the time, the popularity of the school and the revenue created from sporting events is what matters to them not the student. #UCR50

[Maria Saucedo @MSauce024]

The NCAA claims they have the College Athletes' best interests at heart. Athletes spend on average 40+ hrs a week practicing their respective sport and still struggle to cover basic expenses. It's time to get the student Athletes paid what they deserve #UCR50 @KatryaLy
