Great news. Supporting the student athletes is what it’s all about. The name does not matter.
Here’s how a more closely related example dealt with this possible ‘issue’ that some are presuming is being presaged by the shelving of the Paladin Club moniker.Davemeister wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 10:37 amYep. We've seen this coming. If Hofstra can't be "The Flying Dutchmen", no way we can continue to be Paladins.

TLDR Summary - Holy Cross kept the Crusaders name, but ditched the Knight & Knight-related imagery.
Richard Boone died 40 years ago this month, but I suppose we could license his image from his estate & other rights desires from Paramount’s CBS Television Distribution entity.

Baseball potentially can be resurrected, along with adding 2 women's sports necessary for Title IX compliance. Posting on 6/2/20, 6:28 PM, Affirm posited the need for $1,760,000 dependable income per year, or perhaps $44,000,000 in endowment, to be able to resurrect baseball along with the 2 added women's sports.
Purple Haze would be good. The logo should be an outline of Woodwinds with a smoke cloud over it.affirm wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 8:10 pmDavemeister wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 10:37 amYep. We've seen this coming. If Hofstra can't be "The Flying Dutchmen", no way we can continue to be Paladins.
Northwestern once upon a time change to "Purple Haze" from Wildcats. I think they soon returned to Wildcats. If they are no longer "Purple Haze", or even if they are, maybe we will become "Furman Purple Haze" and change the athletics support organization to the Purple Haze Club.
