Y'all should just drop the Florida from your name.

Why? You think "Atlantic" is descriptive enough?

There’s a Pacific University in California. Why not? No more F_U crap to deal with anymore.

Because we are priding ourselves on being from Florida. We actually do want to matter, Pacific? I hear about them once a decade, when they get paid $1M to get shelacked 56-0 by the likes of UM.

By the way, I never knew Pacific was from California. I thought they were from Hawai'i.

By the way, F_U does not bother me much. We were F_U because neither we nor FIU mattered. We matter and FIU may soon matter too.

For UTEP, I've always loved the classic look. The white helmet with the running miner is simple, but distinctive. Bring it back. It's UTEP's best look. The worst IMO is the solid blue. It's bad.

That's what I'm saying -now that you both matter differentiate yourselves from one another. International University sounds weird, and there's already 2 Miamis so FIU's hands are tied. But by dropping the F you kill the F_U moniker.

Better yet, you could honor and acknowledge your true home town by changing your name to "Ratmouth University". I think it's a winner.

Doesn't matter what you call yourself.....unless your team plays in a P5 conference in football or P6 in basketball. You are fighting a uphill battle.

Calling yourself UCLA is not going to help. Unless you are confused by the other UCLA.

That's the state of sports since the mid to late 80s. But even then you still had a chance to gain some respect. That all changed with espn giving those P5 conferences 10 to 20 million a year. Once that happened espn needed a split to protect the money they invested. Skip to around 2005 or so when that 10 to 20 jumped to hundreds of millions and you get what we have today.

A name change or branding will not change that. Hell even winning won't...not unless you can do it every year. We see that with Boise St and VCU. If you drop back...any, it's almost like, you never was respected or winning.

Let me put this in another context. Put VCU out west and Zags in the east and both programs reverse. The east is filled with blueblood schools that win year in year out. There's not as many out west so there's room to add someone not in those P5/6 conferences

You can see the jump starting in 2006....when you invest that type of money on a conference. It's not just the top schools that are going to get the benefit of espn pushing them. Nope...espn needs that bottom to have the perception that they are also head and shoulders better than everyone not in a P5/6(basketball)

Most of our budgets increased also....but on the back of student/school and not espn dollars

Well technically, it's "shallow inlet of sharp-pointed rocks which scrape a ship's cables University". But then, Boca Raton actually had multiple universities, believe it or not.

What happens with the difference between the revenue and expenses? Do we assume that's the operating profit? Do the state schools have to deposit that back into the state coffers?
