@EddieComeaux SRO’s should not be part of K-12 public school. Yet, police on college campuses should not end. However serious retraining of officers needs to be implemented. Anti-racist education, empathy, and safety training needs to happen. #racialjustice #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@angelll27_ @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely @EddieComeaux Thank you for fighting on the front lines!!

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

In light of recent events in America this last week, now more than ever, we need to be active within our colleges, community’s and homes to create equity and humane treatment for all. Silent no more #ucr150 ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ https://t.co/oYCgsHQCGG

@Sarah_Mercado1 @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely I totally agree! If athletes had support from all areas of their lives, especially their coaches, I bet they would probably explore more areas of interest and possibly have brighter futures in careers they actually want, outside of sports #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

The misconception of college athletes intelligence makes athletes feel they are dumb, so they take “easy” classes to pass instead of getting a full education they deserve for a more successful future #ucr150 ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ https://t.co/ed80aYvOIn

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@vgarc030 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar So true! It’s infuriating that these institutions who claim to put students first and fight for students, seem to only exploit them and profit off of their hard work, and in turn limiting their possibilities for successful futures. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

I can’t fathom the idea to defend not paying college athletes by comparing them to prisoners! More proof NCAA’s priory is money! #ucr150 ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ NCAA Doubles Down On Comparing Student Athletes To Prisoners – Above the Law https://t.co/Wh5rXhKsOr

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@Sarah_Mercado1 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree! The actions of the NCAA and universities only prove that their main priority is making a profit from these athletes talents and not the safety, wellbeing, success or opportunities for these athletes #ucr150

I think the struck rules for transferring need to be adjusted, I feel as long as a student completes at least one quarter with good academic standing they should be able to transfers to another four year. #ucr150 ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ https://t.co/aWs5icMA3S

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@vaz_marla @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I fully agree! I think if coaches lead by example and make known the impact and dangers of concussions and the array of symptoms and damage, then athletes, trainers, parents and hopefully the NCAA will follow suit. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

It’s terrifying to know that there are so many TBI’s occurring and it seems like all the NCAA is worried about is making sure they are not held responsible.. no matter how many athletes are affected. #ucr150 ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ https://t.co/QVrCY98mpn

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@DperezUcr @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree! I think we need to take a look at the title IX policy and reevaluate how to implement it in a way that is more in line with Society today. Making it more about everyone together instead of one sex or the other. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

Though title IX has done plenty of good, colleges using title IX as a scape goat as reasons for cutting men’s sports only proves how our patriarchal system harms both male and female college athletes. #ucr150 ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ https://t.co/XwZOHug2ar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@Adams_Shawntell @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely 7 days is definitely not enough time for athletes to choose their futures, especially when they have no say in the contract they sign.,They should have much more time! And bargaining rights! #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

The hype surrounding NSD gives a false idea colleges have the athletes best interest in mind. people feel they are taken care of and protected through their college careers, this is not always the case. #Ucr150 ⁦@MisssNallely⁩ ⁦@rabea_qamar⁩ https://t.co/mb6qI8A39Y

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@ponation_ @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar Really good point! They work hard and create so much revenue only to be not guaranteed anything, even a proper eduction or an education for a career they really want. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@ponation_ @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar Such a great point! They expect so much from them yet give them little in return. They make them follow strict guidelines as athletes and yet these athletes have little to no say about how to make money to survive!? Especially after college #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

I think it should be illegal for colleges to strip athletes of their scholarships without cause. It can ruin their futures. Especially since athletic scholarships are not as common as we think #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar https://t.co/9gtvRbgb7s

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@Adams_Shawntell @helloJuJudy @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely Definitely not! colleges promote an environment of self advocation, safety and trust. This reaction completely contradicts the type of environment colleges claim to encourage . #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Carissa Leigh Coss @CarissaCoss]

@Sarah_Mercado1 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar This is so important! Colleges are environments that support advocating for yourself and the importance of having a voice, so if students so valued as college athletes are not able to do that, then we still have a long way to go. #ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar
