@ryan_aranda003 @dcmireles Thanks for sharing this article.I really enjoyed reading an athletes perspective and getting a deeper understanding of the struggle and identity crisis student athletes face after having to change their life from revolving around a sport to being part of the work force. #UCR50

98% of college football athletes do not go pro. So most student athletes must rely heavily on their academics and future aspirations to succeed, yet spend much less time preparing for their future outside athletics than necessary#UCR50 @dcmireles https://t.co/ULve1gtOSZ

@MaaaarisollM @dcmireles Student athletes aren’t even allowed to use the same platform they have built after they graduate. I completely agree that it is unfair of the NCAA to essentially profit off students & still limit what the student can gain from the publicity. #UCR50 @dcmireles

Students must be protected & not exploited by athletic programs. Student athletes generate high revenue for Division I️ schools, yet some students aren’t even protected by the NCAA if they get injured putting their scholarship at risk. #UCR50 @dcmireles https://t.co/InlrZLJfAq

@markahlark @dcmireles Thanks for sharing this timeline. It really helps put the history of title ix into a new perspective and gives a better understanding of what progress it has made throughout the years. #UCR50

This article highlights the important facts people should know regarding Title IX and how the NCAA uses technicalities to avoid being compliant with its rules and regulations. Women athletes deserve better treatment from the NCAA @dcmireles #UCR50 https://t.co/6smSPMoIho

The NCAA has a whole page on their website dedicated to diversity & inclusion, yet the number of white coaches being hired is proof that they don’t hold their pledge to a high standard. @dcmireles #UCR50 https://t.co/ON8boOwO5m

@jajasmine_98 @dcmireles I completely agree that student athletes should not be under this much pressure that they feel suicide is their only option. School athletics should do more in collaborating with mental health resources on campus to prevent this from happening. #UCR50 @dcmireles

#UCR50 @dcmireles Student Athletes are put under crazy pressure They have to prove that they can manage playing at their best and being at the top of their class.Often they are misunderstood & isolated by non athletes bc of prejudices and the belief that they arent smart enough

@marychuy1329 @dcmireles I agree. Most undergraduate students work part-time jobs in order to afford school related expenses, but because sport related activities takes up all their time athletes are unable to. They work extremely hard and aren’t shown appropriate appreciation. #UCR50 @dcmireles

The NCAA treats student athletes as a profitable item making millions off them each year, yet these students don’t get to see a dime of it. Should student athletes be compensated for their hard work or be grateful for the opportunity? https://t.co/vHjivD4rRf

@afabr001 @dcmireles I completely agree! It makes you question the integrity of these schools when tuition keeps increasing and students are struggling to afford an education, yet coaches are being paid millions. @dcmireles #UCR50

It’s shocking to learn that UCLA head football and basketball coaches make substantially more than other UCLA employees, including a top transplant surgeon. @dcmireles #UCR50 https://t.co/uJPS2BoHuK

@rodrigu36505454 @dcmireles I completely agree. Student athletes are overworked and the most valuable asset to the athletic department, yet they are not treated as such in many situations like in the one of the article you shared. #UCR50

[Eva Mendoza @emend024]

@dcmireles #UCR50 There is a disconnect between the increasing budget allowance towards college athletic programs in comparison to other educational departments.
