@EddieComeaux 1. Division I athletes are slaves
2. The NCAA is their owners who exploit them, by not compensating them

@ahsu015 @dcmireles It is sad, because they devoted most of their time to sports, and not into career options, or post graduation life. @dcmireles #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

College athletes are busy & struggle to find time for career exploration & post graduate options.@dcmireles #educ50

@ggarc039 @dcmireles I think it is weird too, but I think they do that to see what kind of image they are bringing on to their team. #educ50 @dcmireles

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

Why do they make the athletes do a verbal commitment, before they even get signed a position? #educ50 @dcmireles

@ggarc039 @dcmireles Do you think the Title IX is a cover up, so athletic departments won't get sued? #educ50 @dcmireles

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

Title IX has been "implemented" for some time, but is it really successful? We still have no girls' football teams. #educ50 @dcmireles

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

@DomenicHartlove @dcmireles Comeaux and Fuentes state that campus climate can be hostile for minorities, environment is unwelcoming and alienating. #educ50 @dcmireles

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

The NCAA made a policy to ensure minority coaches were hired, but it still seems to be a problem. #educ50 @dcmireles https://t.co/BRaR9qY7sq

@alyssatracy13 @dcmireles It is crazy to know that there are so many stats, about SA using drugs/alcohol, but nothing is being done. #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

What does intercollegiate athletics climate have to do with students academic success? @dcmireles #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

@S_Espinoza95 @dcmireles I agree, because the student athletes have a lot of responsibilities. I honestly don't know how they manage. #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

School is intended for academic success, but why are college athletes having difficult time balancing school and sports? @dcmireles #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

@marioucr @dcmireles I think sports is a great way in which institutions gain revenue, so that is why i think most of the funding is for sports.

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

I think instead of students being charged a Division I fee, they should use that revenue to improve the campus. @dcmireles #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

@_VanBilliard @dcmireles I don't think it is fair, but it is a great way for the institutions to gain extra funding for their own personal activities. #educ50

[Dalia Chavez @daliagchavez]

Shouldn't the NCAA help fund the division 1 institutions, so athletes could have a better place to improve their skills? @dcmireles #educ50
