But I had to share.

Marquette University’s students, alumni, faculty, staffand others connected to the school are having their say on whether to change its nickname from Golden Eagles back to Warriors.

The school has conducted focus groups and forums, and a special committee has been tracking down facts on the issue – such as how many schools use the two nicknames. The most far-reaching effort is a 28-page online survey about the topic.

Sadly the survey is only open to the alumni. Turns out an alum offered the school $2 million to change the name back to Warriors. Read the article to see some of the questions. This amused me:

“If Marquette were to keep its athletics nickname Golden Eagles, please check the statement which most closely reflects what you would be willing to do with clothing or items bearing any Marquette Warriors logo or nickname.”

Among the options: “I would be willing to get rid of these items.”

If the school does go back to Marquette it will be a sanitized version — much like the Golden State Warriors of the NBA — with no references or images based on American Indians .
