A new athletics tradition for students will begin in the Fall 2015 semester.
The current Student Government Association executive slate had a platform point to create a Ball State “B” on the football field.
Vice President Bryan Kubel made the announcement at the SGA senate on April 8 that students will form a "B" at the first home football game Sept. 3.
SGA is collaborating with Athletics, the Pride of Mid-America Marching Band, welcome week and the office of orientation to initiate this new tradition.
“This is something new and something that’ll be cool for Ball State,” Kubel said.
Originally, the plan was to have incoming students create the “B” at orientation, but since it will be during the football game, all students are encouraged to participate.
“Eventually, we hope to put this program in freshman welcome week events,” Kubel said.
This point was originally allocated $150, but it was increased to $800, Kubel said. The money will go to pay for the photographer and for post game security.
The photo will be made into a poster and handed out to students.
