There was a movement in the mid 90s to change the name to the UCF Sharks. It even was put up to a vote by the student body, who overwhelmingly defeated the proposal. Sharks would at least had something to do with Florida given UCF's proximity to the beach which is the "Shark Bite Capital of the World" .
