@_jsant027 @dcmireles I complete agree with you. It’s already hard as solely a student so I can’t even imagine the difficulty that being a student-athlete proposes life after college. #UCR50 @dcmireles

According to ESPN, 2% of High School athletes earn scholarships to play in college and less than 2% actually go pro. What are your thoughts? Do you think the transition is easy for these athletes?

@MaaaarisollM @dcmireles I completely agree with your statement and disagree with how the NCAA uses their top student-athletes as marketing assets. They do not care for these students, which is shown in how they offer these student-athletes essentially nothing. #UCR50

#UCR50 @dcmireles With this week's lecture revolving around rights of College Athletes, I personally feel that they are given nearly no rights at all and are constantly being taken advantage of especially with the usage of their names to attract people.

@_jsant027 @dcmireles I completely agree with you and feel that women are just as capable if not even more capable than men at times. We need to treat everyone equally! @dcmireles #UCR50

The gender gap in NCAA sports is one of the worst in history according to this article. What are your thoughts? Do you think men and women have an equal opportunity when playing collegiate athletics? https://t.co/tgQSIirg5f #UCR50 @dcmireles

@Olivia_Villa_18 @dcmireles I completely agree with this tweet. After reading this article, I completely agree with you. There is large problem that stems from white men dominating nearly all aspects of higher leadership roles in these collegiate athletics. @dcmireles #UCR50

Opportunities for coaches across all divisions raise many problems in terms of race. Division 1 coaches are 86% are white, Division 2 coaches are 88% white, and Division 3 coaches are 92% white. What are your thoughts?

@Michaela_Rose98 @dcmireles #UCR50 @dcmireles I completely agree with you Michaela. People are often too caught up on athletes and their ability on the court that they forget these athletes are students at the same time who go through the same problems all college students go through.

#UCR50 @dcmireles With these week's lectures talking about discrimination towards Student Athletes,I still feel that there is clearly some sort of mistreatment that these Student-Athletes go through as shown in this climate study.

With this week's lectures revolving around the dual role of a Student-Athlete, I have found a majority of these Student-Athletes tend to side with one role as opposed to living this "dual role". They often forget about the "student" part of role.

@ada_fairy21 I believe that this GPA requirement increase will force students to put more attention to their studies and this work ethic will translate over to their athletics as well.

@jacqlee_ @dcmireles Hi Jacqueline. This is definitely a great observation. To put this into even more detail, none of this money is going to any of the players even though they are the ones attracting most consumers. Coaches, on the other hand, bring home millions a year.. #UCR50

[elliot wong @ewong018]

College Coaches rarely follow the NCAA rule of 20 hour week practice limits, which leaves student athletes barely any time for their own school work or even personal life. What are your thoughts?

@xobaby_bria @dcmireles This is interesting as it is extremely unfair to other students in the classroom. However, most elite student athletes that have no intention of spending more than one year at an institution receive the highest form of special treatment in my eyes.

College basketball players provide entertainment for the whole world while being compensated absolutely nothing. They rack in millions for each program through Jersey Sales and even Ticket Sales; however, they get no portion of that... https://t.co/3FJia0p7q4 #UCR50 @dcmireles
