@ninatraaann @abhornUCRedu Hi Nina, I agree that student athletes prioritize sports and academics and careers are put on the back burner. There should be support and guidance when they stop pursuing a athletic career due to them sacrificing so much during college. #ucr50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

College Athletes are pushed to always put sports over academics. When graduating or when college athletes choose to pursue a non athletic career there should be resources given to them. It is a hard transition trying to find a career after college sports #UCR50 @TA_ED50

@wgerv001 @abhornUCRedu Hi Wendy, I definitely believe college athletes should be able to capitalize and make money off of their Name, Image and likenesses due to the fact that college athletes make so much revenue college institutions as a whole #ucr50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

@ImDario27 @TA_ED50 many of these athletes invest an incredible amount of timeninto their sport. Providing them the opportunity to benefit from their own image and likeness seems completely fair. #UCR50 @TA_ED50

@Cassy_04garcia @KatryaLy Yes , I definitely agree that there should be a diverse group of coaches that represent their student athletes! It shows the union and equality throughout the program for these student athletes #UCR50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

College athletes put in a great deal of hours practicing, competing, and representing their schools. These athletes live in a environment that limits them the opportunity to partake in the financial rewards of their own success. #UCR50 @TA_ED50

@emilyVM723 @abhornUCRedu I think it has a lot to do with cultural norms. Traditional gender stereotypes and cultural norms around sports and athleticism can persist and influence people's perceptions. @TA_ED50 #UCR50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

Women sports have broken down barriers and accomplished incredible measures thanks to Title IX, highlighting the significance of equity and representation in athletics. #UCR50 @TA_ED50

@CherryZhen90583 @KatryaLy I completely agree. Promoting racial diversity and interaction in college athletics is not only beneficial but also necessary. It fosters a sense of inclusivity and unity. @TA_ED50 #ucr50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

Even with the incredible accomplishments, women's sports are still not given the attention they deserve in the media, in sponsorship deals, or in general. #UCR50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

@AAlmarez80596 @abhornUCRedu I agree that student athletes should be accommodated with sources for facilities and dining halls to be open longer and even earlier because of their schedules it would help a lot to have the ability to have more hours to accomplish their schedules. @TA_ED50 #ucr50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

It's important to recognize that stereotypes are often unfair and do not represent the diverse and multifaceted lives of student-athletes. Many excel academically, balance their commitments effectively, and have a range of interests and talents beyond their sport #ucr50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

@ninatraaann @abhornUCRedu Schools need to provide academic support services, encourage efficient time mgmt, improve financial aid opportunities,encourage mentorship, enforce academic accountability & foster a culture that values both athletics and academics in order to prevent burnout #UCR50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

Should professors be more lenient on college athletes and due dates since D1 athletes spend more than 40 hrs/week on sport related activities excluding extra workouts, team bonding etc. #UCR50 @TA_ED50

I believe coaches don’t get paid an unfair amount because of how much revenue is being made within the sport programs. I do believe players should be paid because at the end of the day the revenue comes from the players on the court entertaining the fans! #UCR50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

@danieIaruiz @abhornUCRedu While I completely agree with you, I do believe that the funds allocated from athletics do get dispersed to different programs and areas in need for the university. these sports bring in lots of revenue for the school and should be fairly compensated for it. #ucr50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

@ninatraaann @abhornUCRedu Hi Nina ! I agree that athletics tends to forget and not acknowledge the mental health of student athletes. The amount of commitment and work that goes into being a student athlete can really put a toll on someone’s mental health if not balanced correctly! #ucr50 @TA_ED50

[Jhaylon Martinez @jmart758]

Interesting to see the O'Bannon v. NCAA case, which marked a turning point in regards to the fairness of compensating college athletes. The recent adjustments to NIL policy shows an evolution in how we view student-athlete rights and opportunities in real time #UCR50 @TA_ED50
