I also think NIL has added more pressure to college athletes. Athletes already have to worry about school, practices, games, traveling, and trying to perform well. Now, they may feel pressured to perform well so they can keep their high status, popularity, and high pay checks. #NIL #SPCH145advocates

#SPCH145advocates #FaceTheFight In my opinion, honoring the service of veterans includes caring about their well being after they return home. This can be a continuous effort and that's what this movement is trying to do.

Wrapping up my week of #HealthOverProfit advocacy: real change starts with public awareness and action. Social media lets us speak out and demand accountability from insurers. Let’s keep pushing for an equitable system where lives come before profits! How will you advocate? #SPCH145advocates

In 2021, Supreme court ruled against NCAA in NCAA v. Alston, saying the NCAA couldn't enforce limits on "education-based benefits." This does not directly correlate to the NIL we have today, but it was definitely a starting point. #NIL #SPCH145advocates

Mental health care IS physical health care, yet insurance makes psychiatric care nearly impossible to afford. Finding in-network providers with open spots shouldn't be hard. Our minds deserve equal care without impossible costs holding us back. #HealthOverProfit #SPCH145advocates

NIL began in 2019, when California passed a law that "prohibited the NCAA or member schools from punishing student-athletes who earn NIL compensation." This decision started a downfall in college sports. #NIL #SPCH145advocates

#SPCH145advocates #FacetheFight According to Face the Fight's webpage, they have impacted over 1.4 Million lives through "Fight-funded" programs. This was done with a coalition of more than 300 organizations. All for those in need!

Looking at these statistics from IBI make one thing very clear: financial barriers hurt community health outcomes. When people avoid preventative care due to costs, simple conditions turn into major crises. We need a system that makes care accessible for all!! #HealthOverProfit #SPCH145advocates

#SPCH145advocates #FaceTheFight Face the Fight movement was created in 2023 by USAA, Reach Resilience, and the Humana Foundation. They all come together to build something to prevent veteran suicide. Organizations coming together to fight something like this can be powerful.

Honest opinion: no teenager or family should ever stress about going broke just to get medical help. Medical care is a necessity, not something that should depend on how much money you have in the bank. Our health should always come before corporate money. #HealthOverProfit #SPCH145advocates

The addition of NIL has also significantly affected smaller schools. It has given an advantage to the bigger schools because they can offer recruits more money. College sports should not be about how much money you can offer. #NIL #SPCH145advocates

#SPCH145advocates #FaceTheFight Taking time out of our day to listen to a veteran, or even just asking them about their day, can make a difference. So many resources are available to help, but being approached by a loved one or friend can also help a veteran feel less alone. We need to show we care.

Real change starts when communities speak up together. Inspired by the advocates fighting for universal healthcare and price transparency with #HealthOverProfit. True equity in medicine demands policy reform! #SPCH145advocates

This website shows the highest-paid college athletes from the 2025-2026 season. It is crazy to think that these athletes are being paid more than PROFESSIONAL athletes. These athletes are making more money than most rookies in the NFL. #NIL #SPCH145advocates

#SPCH145advocates #FaceTheFight Saving the lives of veterans should be the goal for everyone. The Face the Fight movement is looking to dramatically reduce veteran suicide by a very large number. I really enjoy learning more about this movement because I believe in what they stand for.

Did you know millions of people stretch or skip prescribed medication every year due to costs? That’s a system issue we shouldn’t ignore. Lives depend on accessible care and fair pricing, not profit for insurance. #HealthOverProfit #SPCH145advocates

Healthcare should be a human right, not a luxury reserved for just those who can afford it. I’m supporting the #HealthOverProfit movement this week to raise awareness about rising medical costs and drug prices. No one should have to worry about money while trying to stay alive. #SPCH145advocates

I think that the addition of NIL has changed college sports for the worse. Can we go back to athletes actually caring about the campus and coaches instead of just worrying about how much they are going to be paid. #NIL #SPCH145advocates

#SPCH145advocates #FacetheFight The Face the Fight movement aims to prevent veteran suicide by reducing stigma and expanding access to support. It also empowers and educates veterans’ friends and family so they can reach out to veterans who may be hesitant to seek help.
