From an ESPN interview with Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat:
ESPN: Your alma mater, Marquette, changed their nickname to the Gold. . . . What do you think of that?
Wade: To the what?
ESPN: To the Gold. The Marquette Gold. That’s what they’re going with now.
Wade: Awh . . . I got to call. I got to call in on that one.
ESPN: We are breaking some news.
Wade: I heard they were trying to change it back to Warriors.
ESPN: No, I guess they are going with Gold. I’m surprised they didn’t call you to check to see if it was OK with you.
Wade: The Gold?
ESPN: Yeah.
Wade: No, I got to make a phone call to Marquette after we get off this . . . (laughter). . . . I don’t know about that one.
ESPN: So that might change . . .
Wade: Marquette Gold. The Gold!
ESPN: All right, Dwyane . . . So far so good. I know your word carries a lot of weight at Marquette as well as Miami. Congratulations, enjoy the rest of the playoffs.
Wade: Thank you, I will. The Gold?

This is like a nightmare! Not that I disagree with Mr. Wade, and I wouldn’t expect him to go along with it, but come on. All of a sudden my degree is worth a whole lot less….
