I believe that it is extremely disappointing and alarming to see that American-American student-athletes in collegiate athletes are not supported or given the same academic opportunities as their white peers. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

Collegiate athletes are labeled as amateurs so that the NCAA can continue to profit and not have to pay players. The term is used as a business tactic and as a way to keep its tie to their academic institution. #ucr150 @annaaacha

Do you think that it is okay for the NCCA to have consequences for transferring? Should they should feel pressured or obligated to stay in an environment that they do not feel is right for them in order to avoid the consequences? #ucr150 @annaaacha

I personally think the NCAA has to implement more restrictions and requirements when a player recovering from a concussion is returning to their sport. Concussions are a serious matter and can cause life long damages if they are not treated properly. #ucr150 @annaaacha

Title IX was created to create equality within men and women’s sports. Thought Title IX prohibits discrimination by gender we still see inequality in athletics especially in representation. What do you think could help bring more equality? @annaaacha#ucr150

Do you believe that the National Letter of Intent puts more stress on athletes or do you believe it is more beneficial to them because they have a legal documentation and commitment to an institution. @annaaacha #ucr150

College athletes are seen as amateurs by the NCAA so they are not compensated for their time and talent. Is it fair that athletes are struggling financially even though many hours and effort is put into their sports while institutions make gains on their success?#ucr150@annnaacha

Something that I found interesting was that college athletes often times get stereotyped and mistreated even though they bring a lot of attention and revenue to their institutions. @annnaacha #ucr150

@EddieComeaux @UCLALawReview @DrUJayakumar In my opinion it wasn’t shocking to read that institutions like Harvard find ways to enroll more affluent white student athletes. The use of these discriminatory practices are to gain revenue rather than increasing the institutional diversity. #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

Sharing a @UCLALawReview article co-auth with @DrUJayakumar Bill Kidder & Sherod Thaxton on race, athletics, and admissions. We show that supposedly race-neutral admissions policies create advantages for white applicants.... let us know your thoughts. uclalawreview.org/race-and-privi…

@trinbans @KatryaLy Yes Trinity, I agree with you. I think that colleges that continually benefit affluent white student disregard minorities. Do you think a fair and beneficial system for admissions is possible? @abhornUCRedu

@sanvyopop @abhornUCRedu Yes, I agree ! Students should be admitted first what they offer the institution and what is going to better their future instead on their background and race. @abhornUCRedu

College admissions should treat everyone fairly, no matter their race. Advisors should work to help all students. Education is important for everyone and should not be a special privilege. How to end racism for equal chances in sports? @abhornUCRedu #ucr50

Was it surprising to see that there was a difference in how white athletes are treated and given privileges compared to minority athletes? If so what stood out to you? #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@wgerv001 @Daniella0116 @abhornUCRedu I also agree! I think that it is unfair to not allow student athletes to advertise themselves when they are the ones upholding their image. #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@Daniella0116 I agree with you! The NCAA should allow athletes to advertise for their own selfs and proved expenses to the ones that struggle with it. Althetes work hard to make their team look good and it’s unfair how they get treated sometimes. @abhornUCRedu #UCR50 #UCR50horn

@halba011 @k1mber1yperez @KatryaLy @abhornUCRedu Yes I completely agree student athletes have many boundaries set in front of them. They are used for their talent but then give restrictions. What are some ways you think we can help support the rights of student athletes? #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@k1mber1yperez @KatryaLy This is such an important question to ask because at the end of the day athletes, people in general, should have freedom. Respect is also a great point to add because having respect is what supports their relationship to the sport. #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@jayyrojas24 @TA_ED50 Yes Jailim I agree ! I think that the amount of time it took for the act to be implemented and what it may have been for women who wanted to pursue athletics. @abhornUCRedu #ucr50

It's crazy to think that Title IX took 20 years to be established. To allow and give an opportunity for women to participate in sport. For sex discrimination no longer exist, however it is still seen in todays society. #UCR50 @TA_ED50

@jmart758 @TA_ED50 I think that Title IX has had a positive impact in colleges sports. But I do see how in some aspects women’s collegiate sports seem inferior such as in media coverage and resources. @abhornUCRedu #ucr50

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

@cristian8193088 @alpxrzj @abhornUCRedu @KatryaLy Yes I agree. What I can see is that often times those in charge of collegiate sports are white males who are benefiting off of the talent of minority players. #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@alpxrzj @abhornUCRedu Yes I totally agree with you. Most of the athletes and coaches at universities are white. Most of the athletes are black and yes I also agree with on the promote inclusion for everyone in any sport. #ucr50 @KatryaLy

@sanvyopop @jmart758 @TA_ED50 @abhornUCRedu Yes! I agree women’s spots can be exciting to watch but they always fall short and are not given the attention and credit that they deserve. #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@jmart758 @TA_ED50 Women’s sports spark a lot of controversy in today’s discussion towards collegiate. However, through the education of college students today knowledge about the inequality of women's sports. I believe gender equality is one step away #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

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

What are some ways that institutions can effectively promote more diversity and inclusivity in their collegiate sport programs? #ucr50 @abhornUCRedu

@GigiDuarte_7 @KatryaLy I agree. I believe that educators should not but a bias on a student just because they have a talent. It is very difficult to be a college athlete and they should not look down on them academically. @abhornUCRedu #UCR50

This painted narrative of “dumb jock” is old. Athletes already have a biased stigma because they’re undermined by academic performance from professors. Professors shouldn’t treat a student any less, the issue should be pressed with coaches/dean, not students. #UCR50
