Back when I was there the team had Virginia Commonwealth on the jerseys. It is a branding thing.

Lessons from the college basketball transfer portal: Declining stats, pre-arranged deals and 'sweet nothings'
The data says most high-major transfers see their numbers go down. What do coaches think of this new free agency free-for-all?

An article about the portal and how things will change once the covid extra years are gone. (among other things)

It's to balance against Saint Joseph's prohibition of "St."

From what I hear, the kid is a little bit of a weirdo. This will be his fourth commitment in under three years, and, accordingly to the kid himself, he “doesn’t care about school.”

Probably consider the name to be associated with Colonialism instead of the Colonial army that fought for Washington.
They should keep the theme as something to do with the revolution though. Maybe just take a note from our soccer team up here and start going as the George Washington Revolution.

Oh, I understand the reactionary, spineless reasoning behind this decision. It’s just nonsensical. As you said, the athletics teams are named after the COLONIAL ARMY. One could view it as upstart colonials rising up against a colonizer.
If they’re doing this, then what about addressing the school’s name? Washington was a slave owner, after all! Jackoff hand signal
