@Sandrabthegreat @edavidsonhed I definitely agree that athletes should have more options open in case their plan doesn’t go the way they planned. The industry is difficult to enter so having more options would definitely cause less stress. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

Student athletes should have other options if they do not decide to pursue their sport later in their life. This will at least save them from the stress and anxiety of looking for a job in the future. @edavidsonhed #UCR50

@kmart073 @edavidsonhed I definitely agree that the NCAA is using college students for their talents to create revenue. It’s unfair towards the college students who physically and mentally work so hard but don’t receive anything in return @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

My perspective on athletes receiving incentives is that athletes work so hard and work themselves up physically and mentally that they deserve some sort of reward to pay back what they sacrifice no matter big or small. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

@scarp010 @edavidsonhed I definitely agree that it’s not fair how women should “be happy” with how title IX treats females in higher Ed. If this is the bare minimum, there isn’t a point in passing title IX at all @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

I think it’s important that women are adequately represented among leaders in college athletics because they also work really hard in the sport and with the amount of time and effort they put into, they deserve to be represented. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

@kaorenae @edavidsonhed I definitely agree. Being an athlete is about showing your athletic skills and ability and not about racially discriminating one another. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

Additional factors athletic leaders and educators should consider to encourage positive and meaningful cross-racial experiences for college athletes is by slowly implementing a diverse athletic program and not just all at once. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

@JohannahMoyn1 @edavidsonhed I agree with how professors should be careful to avoid fault or lack of drive from student-athletes. Student-athletes are spending numerous hours of their day to practice on their sport that they have little time for other activities. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

Athletic departments and intervene to improve the likelihood that athletes will experience positive and meaningful relationships with members of the campus community by hosting workshops frequently and get together a with teammates #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

@esald013 @edavidsonhed I totally agree with you since coaches stress so much on the importance of sports. Students are working hard to succeed in their academics and sports but it’s unfortunate that coaches fail to see the pressure they’re in. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

Is the purpose of athletics different in universities than in high schools? Yes, high school athletes tend to take athletics as a fun sport while college athletes take it as their future career path with long term goals. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

@kamillahjamila @edavidsonhed I definitely agree with you! It’s unfair that student athletes put their energy, time, and effort on the sport they enjoy the most and work really hard on only to not receive anything back. #ucr50 @edavidsonhed

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

Is it fair to compare the pay of head football and men’s basketball coaches with faculty and other teachers? No. The team’s winning is not just through skills of athletes, but also through the knowledge and strategies of the coach. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

Do you believe student athletes should be considered employees or not? Student athletes work hard physically and mentally even with scholarships, extra grants, etc. It’s only fair to reward them by giving them compensation in return for their hard work. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

@salfaro016 @edavidsonhed I completely agree with you. Student athletes devote their time and effort into performing the best they can into their sport. Many schools depend on athletes for publicity and without them, many schools wouldn’t be as well known as they are today. @edavidsonhed #ucr50

[Ashley Chen @ashleycchenn]

@moanapisia8 @edavidsonhed I definitely agree with your opinion! Student athletes are physically putting in so much effort in doing something they enjoy as work. They should be repaid for through some sort of compensation! #ucr50 @edavidsonhed
