Marquette: Still the Golden Eagles



Still the Golden Eagles: Marquette has decided to keep its nickname as the “Golden Eagles” after considering a change back to an old nickname. From 1954 to 1993, they used “Warriors”, and in September 2004 the Board of Trustees considered going back to that name. Ultimately, the board decided not to in order to hold itself to its Catholic, Jesuit mission. Marquette officially joins the Big East on July 1. [6/30/05]
