NCSA College Athletic Scholarships Blog

Today is Blog Action Day, www.blogactionday.org.  The purpose of Blog Action Day is to create a discussion. Bloggers take a single day to focus it on an important issue.  This year’s topic is Climate Change.

I wanted to take a sporting perspective to an issue that is highly debated on college campuses across the country by focusing on the University of North Texas’ new football stadium.  The new $78 million dollar stadium will feature extensive green building and vie for a LEED gold standard.  The stadium is funded by an athletic fee that was voted on and approved by students.  In preparation for the vote, pro-stadium supporters rallied using Facebook and other forms of social media.

The Stadium Construction victory is a testament to both the University of North Texas’ commitment to Green Building and the power of the Internet to bring focus to an issue.
