@virgil_mikhaila @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar Yes yes yes! Especially since such a small percentage of collegiate athletes end up going pro!! They need their education - quality education - for their future. I agree :) #Ucr150

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

Athletes shouldn't face hostility, stereotyping, or microaggressions in their school's culture as a barrier to a QUALITY education. The stakeholders involved need to make sure of this!! Athlete EDUCATIONS matter 💯 #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

@virgil_mikhaila @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar this is just another truth the students learn after they have signed the NLI & have committed to being a "student-athlete." It's a shame that they are gypped of a quality education as well as fair compensation for their skills. #Ucr150

"Amateurism & student-athlete"

two cynical hoaxes of the NCAA, propagated by universities, to exploit the skills & fame of young athletes. #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar https://t.co/51sVZLUp08

@virgil_mikhaila @rabea_qamar @MisssNallely I totally agree! It’s all business. Students don’t have to wait a year after transferring to join a club. So why do athletes need to acclimate for a whole academic YEAR before they can compete??? Because it’s about the MONEY. NCAA is all business. #Ucr150

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

Even if in their own best persnl, educatnl, or profess interests, college athletes hav 2 follow NCAA rules that could prevent them from transferring 2 another university. But the athletes r the 1s bringing in the 💰💰💰?? Still no rights?🤨 #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@kimberrllym @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar I agree. The NCAA doesn’t even require coaches to receive concussion education. They have to VOLUNTARILY do so. It’s no wonder so many concussions go unreported. #Ucr150

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

NCAA does not have a legal obligation to protect collegiate athletes when it comes to concussions. They put that responsibility on the college. Arrington v NCAA was filed claiming the NCAA breached safety, health & welfare of athletes. #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@kimberrllym @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar Football not having a gender partner for women makes gender equity impossible. And you're right, even public broadcast of sports is male dominated. Title IX can't be achieved like this! #Ucr150

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

Title IX emerged from the Civil Rights era climate & context. In collegiate athletics, it advocates to give women the same resources and opportunities as men. Men get the majority of scholarships & football has no gender partner sport #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

@arnold_karissa @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar It's so crazy that making their dream come true and signing that NLI turns out to be more of a sentence -- taking away their rights. #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

Yes, signing day feels like Christmas morning for athletes. But are they basically signing away their legal rights when signing the NLI?? #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

@virgil_mikhaila @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar Even basic rights and protections would be great. They are committed students and athletes who the universities benefit from. $$$ Overworked and under-compensated. #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

I believe college athletes should have basic rights and protections. Student athlete Shabazz Napier had to complain of "hungry nights" in post-game interview for the NCAA to provide unlimited meal plans to athletes. #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

@virgil_mikhaila @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar @virgil_mikhaila: I agree! College athletes go above and beyond physically and academically to represent their colleges; administrators have an important obligation to make sure college athletes have the resources to care for their well-being. #Ucr150 @MisssNallely @rabea_qamar

[Victoria Alexander @victorialeilani]

I agree that PROTECTING college athlete well-being means that more campus administrators need to view college athletes as more than objects in a corporate enterprise.
