@EddieComeaux 1.Not given enough recognition for the amount of hours the put in 2.Too powerful,so they are able to take advantage of the system #athletics

@ggarc039 @dcmireles What does that leave the rest of the athletes doing for careers if they don't focus on their education during college? #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

Many college athletes who are not exposed to career building classes have lower career maturity after graduation @dcmireles #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@srobl010 @dcmireles Then the athletes are getting money and the NCAA has no control over the money they are making and are making less for themselves #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

Why is so much money spent on coaches rather than scholarships for athletes? @dcmireles #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@YuLiuEDUC50 @dcmireles Maybe it is because male sports have been around longer and therefore have a larger fan base. #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

How is it fair that private schools are except from Title IX? @dcmireles #educ50 https://t.co/YZpl5u7wa6

@dcmireles Here is some % for white athletes. It doesn't show for high revenue sports, but it is still surprisingly high for these sports #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@YuLiuEDUC50 @dcmireles I think they can do this by adapting new interviewing process requiring multiple of the applicants to be of a race other than white #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

Why is it that whites hold such a huge percentage of positions as athletes and as coaches/administrators? @dcmireles #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@gonzalezv596 @ggarc039 @dcmireles Athletes burn a lot of calories and they are likely to eat more than a non-athlete so they should not have to feel bad about that. #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

Coaches and athletic staff are clustering athletes into the same majors so the athletes are able to stay eligible @dcmireles #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@dcmireles I think that it may have decreased a little since 2010, but not much bc athletes generally still focus a majority of their time on sports

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@gonzalezv596 @dcmireles I agree, but are coaches enforcing this many hours or are the athletes choosing to take time away from their academics? #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

How can athletes become less isolated from the general pop. when they are required to spend so much time at practices? @dcmireles #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@YuLiuEDUC50 @dcmireles I agree teams and athletic departments should be under a more watchful eye when it comes to the amount of $ they are able to spend #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

I believe that athletes deserve compensation before coaches/faculty even though college athletics are considered amateur @dcmireles #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@AmandaVillescas @dcmireles This is a really good point that I didn't even consider! #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@Dani4Justice Don't forget to @dcmireles and #educ50

[Destiny Van Billiard @_VanBilliard]

@daliagchavez @dcmireles I think they should help fund all institutions because then there would be an issue of favoring only the Division I athletes #educ50
