UNT Scoreboard
This is an image of the UNT scoreboard at the old stadium. As you can see, Wells Fargo, Powerade, Coca-Cola, and Coors Light advertisements are larger that the score boxes. Although I understand that these powerful sponsors play a huge part in funding athletic and scholarship programs, I think it sends a negative message to attendees that the advertisers are more important than the team. It also raises an ethical issue of whether it's appropriate for alcoholic beverages to support college campuses. I understand that beer is a part of the experience of tailgating, but alcohol is not allowed inside the stadium. Underage drinking is a big issue on college campuses as well.
