ESPN - George Washington adopts 'Revolutionaries' as new moniker

WASHINGTON -- George Washington University's sports teams will now be known as the Revolutionaries, the school announced Wednesday.

Revolutionaries replaces Colonials, which had been GW's name since 1926. Officials made the decision last year to drop the old name after determining it no longer unified the community.

GW said 8,000 different names were suggested and 47,000 points of feedback made during the 12-month process. Revolutionaries won out over the other final choices of Ambassadors, Blue Fog and Sentinels.

I missed out on this debate. What about Colonials was deemed bad? And how long before Revolutionaries is deemed to be bad? Does the name promote violence? Revolutions, and the Revolutionaries that participate, tend to be violent and against authority.

I think the full name is "Mostly Peaceful Revolutionaries." It was shortened for marketing purposed.

This time we have a conference name change.

ESPN - CAA renamed Coastal Athletic Conference amid new membership

The Colonial Athletic Conference has been renamed the Coastal Athletic Conference, the league announced Thursday.

Known as the CAA, the league has retained that familiar moniker and will keep the same logo. The league has expanded out of its initial Northeast and Mid-Atlantic footprint in recent years amid conference realignment, and sources said the name change was put in place to reflect both the expansion and modernization of the league.

"The Conference's new name represents a culmination of its efforts over the past three years to expand its membership, solidify its geographic footprint and affirm its long-standing mission through a new vision statement which emphasizes that CAA institutions work together to advance nationally competitive college athletic programs -- coupled with outstanding academic programs -- that empower student athletes as whole persons who strive at the highest level in every aspect of their lives," CAA commissioner Joe D'Antonio said in a statement. "Our new name is reflective of the Conference's continuity and unity, as well as each institutions' commitment to be United in Excellence."

I can't believe they didn't mention their commitment to diversity and inclusion.

I’ll never forgive him for killing WSU Football AND for firing Mangino.
