That would cost too much. Better to have a 50k scholarship, a 300k promotional campaign for it, and 1.1 million to clean up the bad publicity from that

I'm a sports guy, who runs a March Madness tournament on these here forums. I've never once heard "March Mayhem"

And look, Google agrees with me.

I hope the opposition points out to a judge that when you google "March Mayhem," a Mason Dixon knitting event gets a higher seo rank than the NCAA

I was extremely disappointed as a child the moment I learned that March Madness was just some lame basketball thing. The name implies so much more than that.

How is the Washington Football Team doing these days? I don’t follow sports, but when I learned the name changed I was glad, but also felt it was kinda ballsy and distinct to have such a plain name. It’s like stuff labeled BEANS or BEER in some Impact-adjacent font, black text on a white label. My parents followed the team in the 60s/70s and despite my never caring as much I’m tempted to get a maroon tee with the team name in gold font. Literally “City Name Sports Team.” Marketing successful I guess!

Backed into the playoffs by being the "best" team in the worst division in the league and got booted in the first round by the eventual Super Bowl winners.

They always said it was a temporary name until they decided the permanent one, but I’m still pretty sure it was a back door way of testing it out and now the reaction has died out and nobody really laughs at it anymore, it’ll probably keep being used.

At first I laughed too, but then I came around pretty quickly. It makes them sound historic, like they were named prior to teams with ‘silly mascot names’ and the like. Hate them because they’re in my division, but yeah the name is good.

Looking at the URL the Washington Journey isn't the worst team name ever, but feels more like a soccer team name.

I mean, so does "washington football team" so it'd be a lateral move.

e: I don't think any new team name won't sound lovely. Like, washington wizards sounds good to me because it's been that way since I was a kid, but I bet it sounded really stupid at the time when switching from the bullets.
