On top of that, let's not forget that Marquette changed from the Warriors to the Golden Eagles due to supposed pressure from Native American students about the logo.

I was attending MU at the time this happened and there were quite a few Native Americans in my dorm. Funny that none of them had a problem with a logo; Actually, one of them joked that if you're going be stereotyped, it's better than being pigeonholed as bingo-hall running drunks.

P.S. To this day, I still don't understand why they didn't just change the logo; they irritated a lot of alums (read potential DONORS) by changing the name....but hey, they had to be PC

I'm a UWM grad, so being PC was always built into the atmosphere and curriculum. And we have always been the perrenial sports threat (the Panthers - even sounds wussy).
