Marquette has announced they are reconsidering the name change. Still no Warriors, and still no game against UWM.
GOP3.com has more details. Apparently a list of ten names will be drawn up for the Marquette community to choose from, as well as a slot for write-ins. Warriors cannot be a write-in, and all write-ins
...must be consistent with both our Jesuit, Catholic mission and the Board resolution on Native American imagery.No word if Marquette "Bingo Cards" or "Slot Machines" would be included in the ban.
Unfortunately for alumni and fans of the name "Warriors", I think "Warriors" is now a dead issue for another decade unless there's a creative protest in the near future, like say, a massive write-in campaign.
