@melanieolmos18@helloJuJudy I totally agree with you. The coaches worry more about their sport records than the athletes themselves that the students do not get enough time to take a break thus causing them to have problems involving their mental health. @helloJuJudy#ucr50
@KhrystalieL @saragrummert Although universities do emphasize athletics over academics, students also have to understand that they have to work harder because they agreed to be in that position by attending tryouts. They have to realize that being a full time student and athlete is difficult. @helloJuJudy
Based on pg. 54, it seems as if student athletes are being helped more not because it benefits the students, but because it benefits the team. Lumpkin says that there is more money spent "to keep athletes eligible" #UCR50
