Stuart Scott got his start in broadcasting at UNC and always made his love for his University well known. He was a longtime host of the UNC Basketball midnight madness festivites, to which he brought the same unmatched energy and enthusiasm he displayed every night on ESPN.
To honor the contributions of Stuart Scott to sports media, as well as to the University of North Carolina, we, the undersigned, request that the press room in the Dean E. Smith Center be named in memory of Stuart Scott.

I was looking at the screen and just realized how many people actually want this room named for Stuart because he really did change how we all watch sports. Watching this take off makes me think about those old midnight madness videos and honestly it just feels right to see his name getting mentioned like this.

This would be a small way that UNC could honor such a wonderful and powerful man.
