#UCR50 @saragrummert Today In lecture we discussed how student athletes are expected to preform well in both sports and academics but I think this is ironic because their time is not divided equally. How are athletes expected to do good in school when sports demand more time

[Corazon @corazonm050]

@_elena_castro @saragrummert #UCR50 I totally agree with you but will coaches actually follow these rules ? As mentioned in class there’s regulations that institutes and coaches claim to follow but don’t actually follow

[Corazon @corazonm050]

#UCR50 @saragrummert A lot of first string players don’t report injuries or continue to play after being injured because they’re more focusing winning. How may this affect them in the long run ? Will schools take responsibility for long term injuries on student Athletes?

[Corazon @corazonm050]

#UCR50 @saragrummert in chapter 21 it talks about amateurism and the way students athletes are constantly being exploited. I agree with this statement because NCAA and higher education institutions continue to make revenue off of these athletes without paying them.

@EvelynLeon___ @saragrummert I believe that Title IX is effective but only to a certain extent. I think it made a step toward the right direction but wasn’t enough to create true equality for all. #UCR50

[Corazon @corazonm050]

#UCR50 @saragrummert Today In class we discussed Title IX and it’s strive to create gender equality. Although, Males and females are still not treated equally I believe Title IX purpose has caused change in the right direction & will open up opportunities for others to speak up

@DianaTo41965596 @saragrummert I think the field would be a good place for social activism because sports in the US play a large role in entertainment and preform to a large audience making it easier to spread awareness and be heard #UCR50

[Corazon @corazonm050]

@_elena_castro @saragrummert I think this definitely would help them not feel so alone because in many cases athletes don’t feel comfortable enough to speak up about concerns or may think others don’t care #UCR50 @saragrummert

#UCR50 @saragrummert After reading this article I wonder is the NCAA has an option of their own about this. The NBA is scouting elite prospects around the age of 18 which is the same age group as the NCAA but actually offering money.

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

Breaking: Starting in the summer of 2019, the NBA’s G League will offer “Select Contracts” worth $125,000 to elite prospects who are at least 18 years old but not yet eligible for the NBA draft. https://t.co/aL6lOCYT3J

@_elena_castro @saragrummert #UCR50 Do you think there’s a gap because girls sports don’t provide as large of a revenue or because women don’t have as much media and audience when it come to professional sports ?

[Corazon @corazonm050]

#ucr50 @saragrummert After learning in lecture that their isn’t many women leadership roles in the ncaa it is good to see that there is at least an effort to make a change and actually include women in leadership positions.

[NCAA News @NCAA_PR]

NCAA EVP Katrice Albert moderates a panel at the Women Leaders in College Sports Conference on creating opportunities to elevate women of color in leadership roles. #NCAAInclusion #WomenLeaders18

@_elena_castro @saragrummert #ucr50 Hello Elena ! Referring back to this question I think it partakes in topics we’ve discussed because it shows that coaches care about about their athletes and not just about winning

[Corazon @corazonm050]

#ucr50 @saragrummert The NCAA has denied to support a game that was meant to donate all the profit it made to the victims of a hurricane. I find this a very selfish move of the NCAA given the large revenue they receive yearly.

[Corazon @corazonm050]

@_elena_castro @saragrummert Hello Elena Castro Serrano!
I think it will help make people realize the unfairness that goes on and encourage people to want to take action. As mentioned in class big changes occur when someone with a platform speaks up just like when Teddy Roosevelt spoke up.

[Corazon @corazonm050]

#UCR50 @saragrummert LeBron James is using his influence to bring awareness and a spot light on the NCAA by producing a documentary on the amateurism in major college sports. Having LeBron James speak up about this issue may lead to a greater change that benefits student athlete.
