@JosephineUCR @abhornUCRedu I completely agree! African American students as well as Pacific Islander deserve equal educational opportunities. It's necessary for them to have support services to ensure that all students can thrive academically. #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

It is very concerning to witness the lack of support and academic opportunities provided to African-American student-athletes in collegiate sports compared to their white peers. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@cortez85218 @abhornUCRedu It is unfair that colleges can't bother to help pay for these athletes who generate them so much revenue.

The NCAA continues to benefit from amateurism by leveraging athletes' talents to generate revenue, while the athletes themselves remain uncompensated. Athletes deserve fair compensation from colleges.

@Alicia_Rendon11 @abhornUCRedu I also agree with you. It doesn't make sense for college athletes to have such a difficult time to transfer compared to regular college students. It seems like a way to profit off of their talents. #ucr150

Balancing freedom and stability in the transfer rule is an ongoing challenge. How can we make sure that college athletes have a fair choice in where they transfer? #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

@AndrewBobadil10 @annaacha I think penalizing coaches who force students to play is completely understandable. It is dangerous for these athletes to play through concussions so this will help protect students more.

[chadbvel1 @chadbvel1]

Concussions can cause long term problems well after an athlete's career. This makes it even more dangerous for athletes to leave concussions unreported. How can college sports programs help? #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

[chadbvel1 @chadbvel1]

Title IX being used as tool to make cuts from women towards men's sports is unfair. It goes to show that these policies that were meant to protect gender equality are being used to destroy it.

@egarmendezz @ElissaMMonteiro I completely agree that these college athletes are being exploited. To maintain a good GPA while competing at almost the highest level in sports is a lot and it's unfair that colleges can't even offer 4 years for their well-being. #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

[chadbvel1 @chadbvel1]

The National Letter of Intent sounds like a double edged sword. On one hand, student athletes are being offered free tuition but on the other, injuries can leave an athlete with few options. Is it worth the risk to hope that all of college can be paid for? #ucr150
@abhornUCRedu

[chadbvel1 @chadbvel1]

The hard work and dedication required to perform at the college level for popular sports like basketball make it questionable how these athletes don't get paid. #ucr150
