Does anyone know how SF Austin originated on ESPN? This continues to bother me. How hard is it to change our name to SFA?

It has to be something the athletics department gave them at some point. I can't see it being difficult to get them to change it, but it would probably need to be someone up top requesting them to do so.

I remember in the NCAA tournament when we played WVU it said "SF AUSTIN" then against Notre Dame it was changed to "SFA".
