They go from Colonials to Revolutionaries. I hope the students and alumni that were offended by Colonials are happy now.

They’ll sleep better at night …. Until they run into the next offensive nickname.

Stupid reason to change the name, but they came out of it with a better name.

I’m an alumnus, ridiculous. Everyone with a brain has said they would never donate a dime now… how is this any more PC? French Revolution they chopped women’s heads off! American revolutionists owned slaves, etc.

How ever some of the other options that they settled down to choose from were terrible.

There is more than just me here? We're gonna have to start a club at this point.

Whole foods in the middle of campus was a game changer but seemed pointless if you could only take what you could carry (via subway).

They built that when I was there. I’d bring a bag or two and walk home with it or jump on the metro. We would use the car on the weekends to shop

This is what you get when people don’t have real problems.

I do like Revs as a mascot though.

Revolutionary Sanders just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Colonials is a retarded name when you think about it. I like Revolutionaries. George Washington was a revolutionary.

I'm surprised the Minutemen hasn't been put on the chopping block. Freshmen probably think it's a sexual reference

I thought this was going to be about changing from George Washington, because there are people who want that.
