@mchoc006 @TA_ED50 @KatryaLy #UCR50 I agree all students regardless of race, financial status or gender should have an equal opportunity.

"Race-neutral" admissions are hypocritical since they give preference of white. Putting students from other racial/ethnic backgrounds at a disadvantage; for this reason, affirmative action was implemented to provide these students with equal opportunity. #ucr50 @TA_ED50

The amount of money your family or you have should not determine how good of an education you can get and neither should the color of your should the color of your skin. Educationonal opportunities. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@ccatherinelu @abhornUCRedu Hi Catherine, I agree. It seems like the NCAA has too much control over the student athlete's life. Also, the limitations placed on them seem like their rights are being stripped away just to play a sport. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

...athlete under the NCAA you no longer have ownership of that chapter of your life. Of course this is somewhat of an extreme analogy but that's what I kind of felt like upon learning this. #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu #ucr50horn

I feel like not being able to profit off your own image and athletic reputation is like selling a part of your life to NCAA. You no longer have those rights to use your own life experiences to better your life. Essentially, by being a college.. #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu #ucr50horn

Seems like the NCAA is just out to make a profit. It is Ludacrous for student athletes to get kicked off the team for using their own image in relation to the sport they play to make a bit of money, yet the NCAA makes millions each year! Change os needed!! @KatryaLy #UCR50

@Liacast99 @TA_ED50 Hi Noelia, I think that although Title IX has created a chance for sports and higher education to equal regardless of gender, there are still many disadvantages that women face in both of these sectors. @KatryaLy #UCR50

Sports know no gender. Title IX gives female athletes equal opportunities in educational institutions. Together we can contribute to break down barriers, champion equality and create a future where every student has an equal opportunity regardless of gender. #UCR050 @TA_ED50

The inequality within intercollegiate sports and life in general is very obvious. Even with Title IX, the scales are tipped in favor of male athletes. Giving them bigger chances of success, while women get left behind. Should Title IX be rectified?@KatryaLy #UCR50

@lisscastrom @abhornUCRedu Hi Lissette, I love the picture you chose for this post, and I agree with your perspective. Black athletes need to be better represented. They deserve equitable support and educational resources to ensure they have an equal chance at graduation. @KatryaLy #UCR50

There is a lack of support towards black female college athletes as they are pushed aside and not being allowed to demonstrate themselves fairly. There needs to be a change in women representation as they also are athletes with equal talent as men. #UCR50 @abhornUCRedu

Diversity within a college campus can change the climate and culture for incoming students.However,the fact that many Black athletes fail to graduate from college even with a scholarship shows that the focus needs to be drawn to ensuring students' succeed. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@iitzel_nandezz @KatryaLy It's crazy how many stereotypes exist about student athletes, and they are continually perpetuated by TV and other media outlets. Awareness should be spread about how big a workload student athletes have. @KatryaLy #UCR50

Many have experienced being doubted by teachers, role models, and at times our own families. Have we ever wondered to what extent this can affect a student-athlete mentally? Especially if they are constantly reminded by professors. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

The bias perspective held by university faculty members in regards to the abilities of student athletes cultivates an erroneous belief that student athletes are not good students. Should colleges work towards stopping this false narrative? #UCR50 @KatryaLy

@YamileLope34105 @abhornUCRedu Hi Yamile, from my understanding, the graduation rate of student Athletes fails to reflect accurate data because the NCAA uses a different method to calculate this information, and this method does not account for transfer students. I like the photo you used. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

Student Athletes need to take between 15-18 units and spend at least 20+ hours practicing. With such high demands, is being a student athlete worth it? I mean, you get minimal pay,constant stress,and no time for anything outside athletics and academics. Thoughts?#UCR50 @KatryaLy

@cleidycampos050 @KatryaLy It seems Athletics in and out of an education environment are held with high regard.The sports world is almost like a brotherhood where they all look out for each other. Personally, I believe that teachers deserve a lot more pay and benefits.Sad,that it is not the case. #UCR50

One main question that arises in college athletics is questioning if coaches deserve their big pay package salary. Why is it that teachers and researchers make significantly less when they work as hard as them. We ask why and question the college sport system. #UCR50 @KatryaLy

Our lesson mentioned that universities use money from student tuitions to fund the athletic programs. Should this money be use to better the Educational programs? Is it possible doing so could give the school similar affects of recognition and Fame?#UCR50 @KatryaLy

@_alexander222 @KatryaLy It's crazy to fully trust the NCAA and its intentions when it comes to doing what is best for the student Athletes. I feel that most of the time, the popularity of the school and the revenue created from sporting events is what matters to them not the student. #UCR50

The NCAA claims they have the College Athletes' best interests at heart. Athletes spend on average 40+ hrs a week practicing their respective sport and still struggle to cover basic expenses. It's time to get the student Athletes paid what they deserve #UCR50 @KatryaLy
