There's a brief timeline. Students petitioned to get the name changed back to Warriors sans any Native American imagery, the university changed the nickname to GOLD, students and alumni protested, and we got to vote amongst a list of non-desireable choices.
Once they made the decision to stay with what we were (Golden Eagles) the NCAA decision was announced and the school emailed us saying "Look how smart we were to not do this."
