The “big issue” is that “Brightwell” apparently means “sex addict” according to Urban Dictionary.




I've never once in my life heard the term Brightwell much less heard it used to describe a sex addict. Just because some dipshit invents a word and throws it on Urban Dictionary doesn't make it legit. I would bet my house no one on this board has ever heard or used the term either.

Was there a person involved? Sid Brightwell, big money donor? J'quashizza Brightwell, first black woman to teach math at NASA?

It sounds like it was picked by an ad agency

no, apparently it comes from them wanting to be a beacon of bright light and a well of opportunity or something along those lines. Someone just put some dumb obscure shite they found on UD in the OP.

That's what I'm thinking.

Sure way to increase male enrollment, which is what they wanted to do.

They even have men's athletic teams that play for MUW.


There was a women's college with male football players back in the 60s. The Mud City Manglers.
