Ongoing B*tch Alert: Please note how ESPN (and all the other outlets) list our school's name, vs how they list the name of today's opponent.

Two schools. Same university system.

Yet one is referred to by the name they prefer to be called, and the other is referred to by "UNC Alphabet Soup - Hyphenated or Not" name.

One school understands branding, refers to itself only by that brand name, and insists that others refer to them by that name as well.

The other does not...

I personally am fine with UNCW. When anybody hears Charlotte, they think Charlotte NC. When people hear Wilmington, most think Wilmington Delaware. Who actually has a Wilmington College.

Yeah, I think that’s his point. I’m pretty sure, 70s like most of us would prefer a standard “UNCW” rather than the hodgepodge of names our Athletic Dept throws out there. I’m past the point of being mad at the media bc there are plenty of examples of our own Dept not even sticking with one style. Absolute incompetence at its finest.
