sports.espn.go.com/ncb/teamsPer Mike Kennedy: "The real test is if they get it right on the Bottom Line during games." Happy day, though. We finally got through to a national media source.

I'm sending an e-mail to SI.com.
Anyone wanna try and find out Sporting News? I can't seem to find it and I think we can get a good grassroots movement going here.

He doesn't list us, but he writes a college basketball website, so eventually it'll be on there when he does mention us.
He "looked me up to make sure I was legit."

Awesome work guys. And I'll give you this, it's much MUCH more productive than voting 847 times in a horizonleague.org fan poll! ;D
Some people/organizations will be more receptive to making changes than others (I would know, since I've also done this before). For the more stubborn ones, it sometimes helps to point out discrepancies in their current naming formats using other hyphanated schools. Most sites may care enough to make a change once you point at a lack of consistency. Conference USA and the A-10 are good places to always cross check with on the media site in question, as their schools are almost always referred to correctly by media outlets (i.e. Texas-El Paso as UTEP, UNC-Charlotte as Charlotte, etc)
Keep it up and good luck!
