Other than that, and this may be just me, but students are really stupid. Have a couple of days per semester dedicated to educating about football and sports from other countries? Make it an inclusive stadium? What type of suggestions are those? Sports broke diversity barriers decades before politics did. 

Just so this doesn't evolve into more socio-political ********. The diversity they're talking about is the large amount of students from other countries and also getting Murican students involved who may not be that familiar with football:

Many students highlighted the diversity among USF and the importance of making the community inclusive. Kelly said USF Athletics is also a diverse community and the new stadium allows an opportunity to include everyone.

“With our 450 student athletes, we represent 42 different countries, I have students from 42 different countries just from that small sample of our overall student population,” Kelly said.

It was also mentioned the importance of finding new ways to encourage students from other countries and others unfamiliar with football to enjoy the game day atmosphere. It was proposed to have a few days per semester to let students learn the sport or use the stadium to host events about sports from other countries.

Who typically gets excluded from stadiums?  UCF people?

Wondered this myself.  Would love to hear examples of what they mean by this.

Edit:  I'd love to exclude all UCF'ers

Really?  That's humorous all by itself.  Don't ruin a good laugh.  They're still college students and free to do most anything on campus. 
 

I may pull @mgrothe8 in on this…

Why is what they say and what they mean different?

But one of the keys to an ocs is to get as many students as we can involved with football .... and first they have to know what the **** it is.

Well, if we’re gonna do this for football, we need to do it for every sport - boys, girls, and those well I’d rather not talk about it.  
 

Seems like overkill to force feed someone football for diversity.  Curiosity and self-sufficiency (especially in spectator sports) was once plentiful among youth.
