The name of the school is UNCC. For marketing purposes, the athletic department decided to use the "Charlotte" moniker. That fine by me, but when someone asks me where I went to school, I don't say "Charlotte", I say "UNC Charlotte".<BR/><BR/>You don't hear UCLA calling themselves "Los Angeles".<BR/><BR/>If the school wants to try to change its name officially, that's fine, but the name on my diploma won't change. I am proud to be affiliated with the UNC system.<BR/><BR/>But I will send my money either way. I will buy my PSLs even though I live on the west coast and will likely see only one game a year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-74701528457763150792009-02-11T16:14:00.000-05:002009-02-11T16:14:00.000-05:00Not so fast my friend, you are probably correct if...Not so fast my friend, you are probably correct if you speak of "carolina" grads ( usc and unc-ch) but not just unc ch grads.

Unless you "donate" money every year above and beyond what you paid for your FSL, they can move your seats year to year. In my opinion that is total B.S. and I will not buy one now. $2,000 was enough of an outlay, then trying to strong arm you every year, no thanks UNCC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-14230522540380943602009-02-10T17:56:00.000-05:002009-02-10T17:56:00.000-05:00Wow!!
