@bmaci004 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree Briana, all athletes should be valued no matter their race or ethnicity. As you stated, campus diversity is very important in creating a positive educational experience. Colleges should strive to take care of all their student athletes. #UCR150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

Colleges and universities should encourage and push their students to pursue their academic interests, rather than pursuing an easy path that allows for their sports and athletics to get in the way. #UCR150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@selahehe @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I completely agree Selah, I think student athletes should be considered employees as they put all their time and commitment to their sports and athletics. It is absurd that schools profit from their play and yet they receive no compensation. #UCR150 @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

The NCAA has long been criticized in prioritizing their marketing goals over their student athletes. It is time that players and athletes get equal rights and compensation when it comes to their play and scholarships. https://t.co/oRPVEknQDJ @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar #UCR150

@alyssa_mart21 @rabea_qamar I completely agree Alyssa, I think it is very unfair for student athletes to be restricted because of the NCAA transfer rules. It is time that colleges and institutions value their students before their own marketing goals. #UCR150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

The NCAA transfer policy restriction seems unfair to many student athletes as it limits their freedom on academic and athletic opportunities. https://t.co/PvyDIOlUfM @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar #UCR150

@breemarie271 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I completely agree Briana, student athletes often have their injuries pushed aside or not taken seriously. I believe that players should have more protection and be able to sign a contract stating they are fully cleared to come back from injury. @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar #Ucr150

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

The NCAA has set guidelines for concussion protocol, however are they doing enough to protect athletes from further reinjury? It is important that player’s safety comes first over any economic or marketing agendas. https://t.co/KgbqHj7UcB #UCR150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@ymart025 @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely I completely agree, Title IX is meant to protect and provide everyone with equal access and opportunities but it seems like men's sports ultimately get more funding and attention. @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar #UCR150

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

Title IX was meant to outlaw gender discrimination and promote equality of opportunity, but most institutions today still use regulations that disproportionately favor one side over the other. https://t.co/EtEHcgomfH #UCR150 @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely

@EsperanzaTalam1 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar @EsperanzaTalam1 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree with you completely! I think that it is very unfair for students to have little protection when signing the NLI. It also puts a lot of pressure on their decision to think about their and future and interests. #UCR150

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

In a perfect world, student athletes get to choose the circumstances under which they sign the National Letter of Intent. However, players' interests often get overlooked, undermined, and ignored entirely. #UCR150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar https://t.co/VzqUL8DdCr

@breemarie271 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar @breemarie271 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I completely agree with your take on the NCAA exploiting athletes and labeling them as "amateurs". This in turn shows how corrupt the NCAA can be using their power to exploit these athletes for revenue.

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

College athletes fighting NCAA amateurism rules showcases just how much influence the market power of the NCAA and its member schools have on athletes and students. This article further highlights that divide. https://t.co/MpX2ZcRGVT #UCR150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@MarioPerales24 @helloJuJudy @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely @MarioPerales24 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree that the student athletes being represented by committees such as the SAAC seem to have been excluded themselves, and are not rightfully protected as seen in this week's reading.

[Sean Paras @SeanParas9]

This week's reading on "College Athletes' Rights and Well-Being" advocates for protecting athletes from physical, mental, and economic harm and mistreatment. This article highlights the importance of that. https://t.co/rppHLrIBGE #UCR150 @helloJuJudy @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely
