@Danielaaa_g7 @KatryaLy I agree that it isn’t fair that students of color aren’t able to receive the same opportunities as white students when it comes to college admissions. Institutions need to do better by considering all students equally regardless of race or gender.

There is selective college admissions that affects students and their futures. Usually elite universities tend to favor white students over students of color when admitting student athletes. It isn’t fair that they don’t get the same opportunities as others.

@lprec009 @abhornUCRedu I agree that the NCAA does not always put its best interests on their student athletes. They profit significantly from their athletes which is unfair. They even restrict them from receiving compensation besides scholarships and other benefits.

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

The NCAA has made efforts, but they don’t always prioritize the best interests of athletes. Despite receiving scholarships, athletes say it’s not enough to cover their needs. Athletes face restrictions on earning income from endorsements or other opportunities. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@emilyVM723 @abhornUCRedu Despite Title IX’s existence, its full potential isn’t realized due to inconsistent enforcement and awareness. This leaves room for unequal treatment and opportunities for female athletes and it perpetuates gender based barriers which must be addressed more. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

Title IX plays a role in addressing gender disparities in intercollegiate sports. Women face barriers that often go unnoticed in sports and are denied access to scholarships and equal opportunities. It is imperative to address these issues for gender equality.

@annette_are @TA_ED50 These are great questions to think about. I think that administrators need to take these issues of inequality and discrimination into consideration so that student athletes feel safe and part of their campus community. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

It is important for educational institutions to fight racism to create inclusive and safe environments for student athletes. Support networks/ organizations can be implemented to empower students who face discrimination and are affected by stereotypes they face. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@esperanza_cruzz @abhornUCRedu Hi Esperanza. I think it’s interesting how athletic climate changes so much as well. I agree how with positive athletic climate athletes tend to be more motivated and the students are more likely to achieve their goals. It’s a support system that allows growth.

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

College athletics climate is being recognized as it impacts students performance. Sports organizations in uni need to place more importance on fostering a positive climate to ensure that teams thrive both in athletic achievement and for personal growth as well.

@stephanieW010 @KatryaLy Hi Stephanie! Student athletes can overcome the challenge of balancing their athletic and academic tasks. They are expected by the university to perform well in both. One way they can overcome this is by seeking support and setting clear goals for themselves. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

Many student athletes face challenges surrounding their academic performance. They struggle in balancing athletic responsibilities at the same time. What are some new ways that they can overcome these challenges and what are more ways universities can help them? #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@mariavalla299 @TA_ED50 Hi Maria, it’s a crucial question to consider if college coaches are deserving of their pay packages. Their salaries have been rising greatly, but how about teachers and researchers who work really hard too. I believe they all deserve a raise in salary as well.
#UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

One main question that arises in college athletics is questioning if coaches deserve their big pay package salary. Why is it that teachers and researchers make significantly less when they work as hard as them. We ask why and question the college sport system. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

@vrodr096 @KatryaLy Hi Vanessa, this is crucial to consider. Student athletes usually choose an easier major so they can commit fully to their sport. Something to discuss is the academic pressure that leads students to choose the easy path to keep a healthy balance in their life.
#UCR50 @KatryaLy

[Cleidy Campos @cleidycampos050]

There are many questions that arise within intercollegiate athletics such as idea of where funds are spent. One question that is important to consider is if it is ethical for them to spend the funds on athletic programs rather than on educational programs. #UCR50 @KatryaLy
