UW–Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball → Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball –

• The school no longer identifies itself as "UW–Green Bay". They simply go by Green Bay (even their official athletics website only uses Green Bay.) Jrcla2 (talk) 01:51, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Move The precedent in college athletic pages is not to use "university," "college," etc. in the name. The page on the University of Connecticut's athletic program is "Connecticut Huskies," even though the teams are sometimes referred to as the UConn Huskies. Kithira (talk) 13:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Move per nom and Kithira. Rikster2 (talk) 14:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Move. The college sports precedent has always been to call the sports teams of a university or college what the university or college calls its own teams. In this case, that's clearly "Green Bay Phoenix." I do suggest one caveat, however; given that the usage is relatively new, there should be an explanation of the relationship between the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay and the Green Bay Phoenix sports teams on each of the category pages. I'm a fairly well-versed college sports fan (admittedly from a different part of the country), but I had never heard of the "Green Bay Phoenix" before this discussion arose. I don't think I'm alone.

  • Agree that each category should have a good explanation. Will do that myself later when I get the time; good suggestion. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
• Move - This move is in keeping with standard WP naming convention. cmadler (talk) 14:40, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Move per nom plus ESPN (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/standings) and Horizon league website (http://www.horizonleague.org/mens-basketball.html). Jweiss11 (talk) 19:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

• Move - Milwaukee (nee UW-Milwaukee) did the same thing a few years ago and all of their articles were switched to reflect the change. No reason not to do it here. City boy77 (talk) 23:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
