@yoselineMirand4 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar There should be more programs and models to support African American college athletes and people of color overall. Football and Basketball in the NCAA are the sports where most African American student athletes would benefit from new programs. @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar #ucr150

Colleges have always been lenient with their athletes to focus on their athletics. But maybe the right approach should be to give more support like an academic advisor and policies that push the declaration of majors that benefit their future. @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar #ucr150

@JANELYmena @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I very much agree. It can also be noted that student athletes put so much effort into getting a renewal on their annual scholarships by coaches. This automatically shifts their priority from the classroom to the weight room and training centers #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

Can a line be drawn between competitive equity and the rights of student athletes? Is equity in college football and basketball attainable? Or is there a way that student athletes can receive more marketable deals? #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar https://t.co/vVy1zPhAUx

@MariaSe87639541 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree. Student athletes continue training and pursuing these athletic opportunities but are forbidden from doing so immediately. Most student athletes only have a few years to take advantage of these opportunities. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

The NCAA 4-4 transfer rules are difficult to deal with for huge revenue sport athletes. These students face a loss of 1 playing year and potential financial aid reduction, even in circumstances they have no control over. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar https://t.co/iky0RiQIpZ

@MaleaHallawaara @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely It's very alarming giving the lack of knowledge we have from the results of concussions. The most alarming part is that youth sports make up a huge part of those who underreport. It's time to implement tougher protocols to protect players. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Mario Perales @MarioPerales24]

The NCAA has given colleges concussion protocols, but many neurologists argue against that, claiming schools do no enforce these protocols. There should be more forms of education in engaging concussion protocol. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar https://t.co/9iC7WWZ6yr

@KmezaUcr @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I couldn't agree more Kimberly. Instead of using Title IX as an excuse, institutions should use it as a means to establish equality in exposure, scholarships, and educational aid for both female and male athletes alike. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Mario Perales @MarioPerales24]

Title IX was created to give equal opportunity to all in academics and athletics. However, female athletes from underprivileged communities & women seeking higher positions like coaches are still being overlooked #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@jvela030 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree with you Jessica. National Signing Day is such a big commercial and emotional event that takes all signing athletes on a crazy whirlwind of emotions that negates the important factors within the contract. Students should be more exposed.#ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Mario Perales @MarioPerales24]

Reasons for switching schools after signing an NLI are increasing. New evidence suggests that coaching changes is the biggest reasons why. Can a push help a coaching change become a valid reason to transfer schools? #ucr150 @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely https://t.co/hniYSvnthQ

[Mario Perales @MarioPerales24]

Why can the NCAA not change rules surrounding amateurs when other groups like IOC have already successfully made the change into giving college athletes what they deserve like sponsorships and revenue deals?

@SeanParas9 @helloJuJudy @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely @SeanParas9: This weeks reading showcased those aspects. I saw the main arguments in the book as being the well being of the student athlete, which was embodied by those same aspects you mentioned, mostly concentrating on their social wellbeing #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Mario Perales @MarioPerales24]

College student athletes are being represented by comitties like SAAC made by the NCAA, yet the most important voice seems to be excluded, that of the student athlete themselves. https://t.co/d3Y1WsXZH1 #ucr150 @helloJuJudy @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely
