Just to add a slightly different take. I was the advisor to the Water Polo team for a few years( I had a number in my class one year and they asked me - I loved it - great students, athletes and representatives).The Women's Water Polo team has consistently been in the top 20-25 for years, and they play the competition to match both here and on the west coast. Were it not for Wagner, they would have been in the NCAA's every year ( well, Iona had a run a few years back).
In a way, Water Polo has been like Rowing for men. It is - at least among our peer institutions - a relatively niche sport where Marist has been able to develop a reputation and attain some national recognition. More, both were initially very good recruiting strategies. Rowing got us into and made us attractive to the students from prep schools from which we were hoping to recruit (Philly, DC, and N.E region in particular as we moved out of our tri-state base).Water Polo has helped us in California, Hawaii and other regions(Arizona). Competing and recruiting in those areas expanded our out reach to other potential students in the area and simultaneously reinforced Marist's academic image as it evolved ( I mean, we really do want the Patriot league).

Yankee stop being a kiljoy. It's a bunch of jokes. That said, I joked with a GW alum about how the Foxes "crushed" his Colonials in WP. |

Yankee,
"but it kinda sucks this is the only thing we are saying about them" is my issue. If you think they aren't getting talked about, then open a thread.
Then and now, you're doing exactly what you're asking me not to do to you. Admonish.

I've read about that, but without getting histrionic one way or the other, I'll just say I really don't foresee GW going through with a name change.
