Opinion: Safety concerns over playing college football

November 3, 2020 by Dymphna Rocha Leave a Comment

College football is a billion-dollar-a-year industry that plays a part in the American sports landscape. According to the NCAA, college football programs had an average revenue of over $100 million in 2019. Like most things in 2020, the season was in jeopardy of being canceled due to the COVID-19. College presidents and athletic directors from different states came together via Zoom to save the season. “#We want to Play” tweets from the country’s most prominent college players, like Trevor Lawrence, and “we need college football” tweets from President Trump applied pressure to the NCAA Leadership to get a season started. The most glaring issue facing the decision-makers was the players' … [Read more...] about Opinion: Safety concerns over playing college football

College soccer players express concerns for their coaches

May 27, 2020 by Sergio Gonzalez Leave a Comment

As COVID-19 has effectively shut down all collegiate sports, coaches worry about their employment. Banned activities include practice, provision of any workouts and training exercises for their players, and recruitment of new players. Recruitment is the most crucial aspect of coaches’ job. It is what ensures that they actually have and maintain their job. Sebastian Ascensio, a transferring sophomore, was in the middle of the recruiting process when this pandemic struck and caused a nationwide stay at home order. Back in March, Ascensio was discussing possible scholarship money with coaches in order to support him and his family financially. With the stay at home order, Ascensio has … [Read more...] about College soccer players express concerns for their coaches

Substance abuse among college athletes

February 20, 2017 by Diara Fowler Leave a Comment

By Diara Fowler |Contributing Writer| The use of steroids and other performance enhancers among athletes, especially collegiate athletes, seems to be an increasing issue. When it comes to being an athlete, competitiveness is a natural trait. However, there are times when an athlete is suddenly injured only days before an important game, or interested in gaining more muscle quickly. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has a strict no doping policy. Doping is when an athlete injects or orally consumes an illegal substance. This past year the program has tested over 61,000 athletes in over 300 different college campuses, according to Forbes. Androgenic steroids … [Read more...] about Substance abuse among college athletes

January 21, 2017 by Tyler Vanderelst Leave a Comment

By Tyler Vanderelst |Staff Writer| The CSUSB Coyotes men's basketball team's hot start seems to be cooling off after being defeated in five of their last seven games. After starting the season with a record of 5-2, the Coyotes have fallen to 7-7 and 3-6 in conference games.  The season has had its ups and downs due to some significant injuries, and new players getting adjusted to each other, which has led to a season record worse than the team would like to have. "This year we have shown glimpses that we have the ability to be one of the best teams in the nation," said center Phil Reed. "We haven't had the record that we wanted so far, but I am proud of my teammates because … [Read more...] about Men’s basketball halfway point
