@aayal100 @annaaacha Hey Alexis! I completely agree with you. This imbalance of respect within the NCAA community of athletes needs to be acknowledged more and noticed. #ucr150 @annaaacha

African American athletes should be treated with the same respect and recognition as any other NCAA athletes. They should also be given the same opportunities and support as other student athletes. #ucr150 @annaaacha

African Americans are constantly being ignored within college athletics though many of them benefit athletics and are great assets to the team. Some of the advantages that other athletes have, African American athletes don't receive. #ucr150 @annaaacha

@bellahinostroza @annaaacha Hey Isabella, I totally agree. I think the NCAA needs to start paying their athletes correctly as they are literally using their athletes' name, image, and likeness. #ucr150 @annaaacha

lawsuits like White v NCAA spotlight the push for fair compensation in college sports. Meanwhile, excessive spending on athletics risks straining institutions' finances. It's time for a balance between fair pay for players and financial sustainability #ucr150 @annaaacha

The NCAA has continuously ignored the wellbeing and health of their athletes. The NIL rules (name, image, and likeness) prove just that as athletes are unable to make profit and receive compensation from the NCAA using their image. #ucr150 @annaaacha

@cortez85218 @abhornUCRedu Hey Yvette. I completely agree. The conditions that these athletes must suffer to transfer are tough, making many athletes suffer at the institution they currently serve. #ucr150 @annaaacha

Athletes' transferability and the conditions of their transfer are two topics that NCAA legislation focuses on. #UCR150 @abhornUCRedu theathletic.com/5419130/2024/0…

The NCAA has undoubtedly proven AGAIN that they are an unorganized and unrighteous organization. College athletes are restricted in the path they choose if they want to transfer from one institution to another because the NCAA makes it difficult to do so. #ucr150 @annaaacha

Fatal medical injuries, such as a concussion, go unreported within the NCAA. About 50% of these injuries go unreported. Though concussions are invisible and different, we must know how to treat them and provide a safe playing field for athletes. @annaaacha #ucr150

@Nareenclute @annaaacha The fact that an incredibly concerning medical emergency like a concussion is being UNDERreported is a bit crazy and upsetting to me. These issues should be solved together, especially by coaches and other staff. @annaaacha #ucr150

Creating a safe environment for concussion reporting is crucial in sports. Coaches, parents, trainers, and players must work together, prioritize education, and encourage honesty to ensure player safety. Let’s tackle underreporting head-on! #ucr150 @annaaacha

@cortez85218 @abhornUCRedu Hey Yvette. You're right. Female athletes are not receiving the same resources as male athletes. We should strive for equity. #ucr150 @annaaacha

I still believe that sometimes that female are still not getting the equity in scholarships or grants-in-aids and it should receive more attention #UCR150 @abhornUCRedu

Many don't talk about the disadvantage that women in college athletics have. They are usually not thought about but the facts are here; female athletes don't receive the same resources that male athletes do. #ucr150 @annaaacha

@Nareenclute @annaaacha Hi Nareen! You're so right. Signing day is an "illusion" for some athletes as it's painting as a day of commitments and future opportunities. But within this is a contract that essentially signs away an athlete's rights. @annaaacha #ucr150

College athlete contracts: do they offer a fair deal or favor colleges? Lumpkin’s blunt revelation in Helfand’s ‘College Athletes Rights and Well Being’ sheds light on the disillusionment many athletes face. Time to reassess the balance of power. @annaaacha #ucr150

Once again, the unfair and disadvantages against college athletes and their rights sheds light. Signing day is a luxury for aspiring high school athletes but signing these contracts provides pros and cons as athletes are also signing their rights away. @annaaacha #ucr150

@ChunkiBarbie @annaaacha I agree. I think it’s so unfair these college athletes are NOT being paid for their commitment to the sport. To be training and practicing everyday and playing in games just to be unpaid from it sounds displeasing to me. @annaaacha #ucr150

One thought-provoking fact I read this week was that the NCAA requires collegiate athletes to compete without salary to maintain their amateur status. Sadly, any comprise to this status disqualifies the athlete from ANY & ALL future collegiate competitions. #ucr150 @annaaacha

College athletes are currently not being paid for the hard work and effort that they are dedicating to their sport. In truth, it’s difficult to follow through with professional sports without a guarantee of being scouted. @annaaacha #ucr150

In order for college athletes to reach self advocacy and reform, communication amongst an internal or external organization is crucial. It’s important to discuss issues, understanding, and perspective. Below is an image depicting mental health. @annnaacha @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@Nareenclute Totally agree. The issues of college athletes and the abuse that they go through is something to be talked about! @annnaacha @abhorbUCRedu
