Oddly enough, someone on one of the Gamecock message boards posted this link from SI today.I think as far as branding goes it's more confusing having the women's bb team continue to be the Lady Vols, while all the other women's sports are now just the Vols, than it would be to just leave them all as Lady Vols. Makes more sense to me that this exception was done for the sake of donations, like the posted USA Today article says, than "to honor Pat's legacy."
Also, regarding the USC Gamecocks, to me the whole cockfighting reference is more of a concern than whether the women's teams are called the Lady Gamecocks, or Gamehens - whatever. (My daughter is a Clemson alum - I won't tell you what she calls them)
