I think I accounted for that, didn't I?

It will be just like Harvard in 10 years.

When I think "LU", I just think of the University in Appleton.

It'll take a little getting used to, that's for sure.

Maybe they will sue Lakeland.....of course they are sort of busy with all the PC racial bias accusations being flaunted in Appleton by their students ala University of Missouri.

I thought the same thing.

[Greek Tragedy]

Wonder if they took into consideration when naming and coming up with a logo, that a school an hour away also had LU as their initials and LU as their logo. Maybe "U of L" "University of Lakeland" or something similar to that.

[Just Bill]

In all the committees and discussions these things involve, it had to have come up. I guess they decided it didn't matter enough to them.

[Greek Tragedy]

Probably some of the same people that came up with the Northern Athletics Conference when there already was a NAC. Go figure.

Acronyms kill, ma'am.

James Lancaster has stepped down after 22 seasons as Aurora's men's basketball coach, leading the Spartans to 404 wins and 9 NCAA Tournament appearances. http://athletics.aurora.edu/news/2016/7/11/lancaster-to-step-down-as-au-mens-basketball-coach.aspx

Assistant coach, and 2010 conference Player of the Year, Lance Robinson has been tabbed to succeed him.

Missed national marketing opportunity.  Could have called it Fish U and made trucker hats that would have sold all over the country.  I can hear the chants  FU FU FU.

Having James Lancaster step down to take on full-time responsibilities within the Aurora University administration is really going to change the look of this league. Not only was he one of three NACC head coaches who had served in their respective positions for over two decades (Mark Boyle of Marian and Skip Noon of Wisconsin Lutheran being the others), he's also had more long-term success than any other coach in the history of this league and its two predecessor leagues.

I would encourage everyone to read the interview with Lancaster that's at the end of the press release to which Ryan linked. It's very interesting and enlightening.

Finlandia already has that acronym nailed down.
