Marquette Board Dumps Gold Standard

The Marquette University Board of Trustees decided to abandon its ill-conceived plan to thrust "Gold" down the throats of its students and alumni, and has created a process by which it will pick a new nickname for its teams.

The bad news for many is that the board also reaffirmed its decision not to go back to "Warriors."
