Voters approve 3 sports
Supporters overwhelmed the opposition with a vote of 1,403 to 711 in favor of the athletics expansion referendum.
Students passed referendum 04-01 by a vote of 1,403 to 711. UTA’s football program was cut in 1985 by then-President Wendell Nedderman due to chronically low attendance. The referendum says students will pay a $2-per-semester-credit-hour fee to fund a football program and women’s soccer and golf if the start-up costs are raised through outside donations.

By a margin of 2-to-one, students approved an athletic fee increase to fund a sports expansion including football, women’s soccer and women’s golf.
Fourteen hundred students supported the non-binding referendum and 711 voted against the measure. The $2-per-semester-credit-hour won’t go into effect for at least a year and only after President James Spaniolo determines that enough donations have been raised to launch a “credible program.” . . .
