The school will now go by the moniker of “Revolutionaries,” the university announced Wednesday.
School president Mark Wrighton and Chuck Todd of NBC News, a George Washington alum, unveiled the announcement in a post on Facebook and Instagram.
“This is an exciting day for the George Washington University Revolutionaries,” Wrighton said.

UFC president Dana White is attempting to build a new sport.
Introducing slap-fighting into the mainstream through Power Slap is White’s objective. On the surface, that seems unrealistic. But White has made a career out of accomplishing the impossible.
Hours before the Power Slap 2 event, White spoke with Sports Illustrated and offered a glimpse into how and why he promotes fights. He also shared his excitement for all things Power Slap, touched on the most pressing UFC issues surrounding Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, and detailed the departure of Francis Ngannou.
Coaches around the NFL are discussing the NFL’s new kickoff rule, but mostly in private. The consensus from those around the league: coaches generally hate it. Most don’t want to say it out loud, like Bills head coach Sean McDermott. But Chiefs head coach Andy Reid doesn’t care if there are repercussions.
On Wednesday, Reid addressed the new rule and suffice to say, he doesn’t like it.
“My thing is, where does it stop right?” Reid said. “We start taking pieces and we’ll see how this goes.
Tyreek Hill and D.K. Metcalf have long debated over who is the fastest. They both claim to be the speediest player in the NFL, but they obviously cannot share that title. It needs to be put to the test.
However, according to Metcalf, Hill has been ducking him for years.
At a 6-foot-4, 236 pounds, Metcalf is astonishingly fast. His ability to burn defensive backs on a go route has dazzled football fans for years.

The 2022-23 NBA season isn’t even over yet, but some observers already are offering wild speculation as to where Kyrie Irving will play next season.
He spent 3 1/2 seasons with the Nets before requesting a trade that landed him with the Mavericks. In Dallas, Irving joined forces with Luka Dončić, but the Mavericks stumbled down the stretch and ultimately missed the playoffs.

Discussion of LeBron James’s next move has heated up ever since James floated the possibility of retiring after the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets earlier this week. Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd tossed out a wild potential move for LeBron on his radio show on Wednesday: a trade to the Warriors.
Cowherd’s proposal, which he says “is not tinfoil hat stuff,” would send James to Golden State in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole.
The NBA on TNT crew has long been known for their humorous hijinks. But Tuesday night’s interview with Warriors star Stephen Curry might have set the bar even higher for funny moments reserved only for live TV.
As the crew was finishing up an interview to honor Curry being the recipient of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion Award, Shaquille O’Neal took a moment to compliment Curry for the honor and call him his favorite player in the league.

The dust has long settled on the NFL’s 2023 free agency frenzy, but a couple of skill players highlight some of the talent that’s still available.
Some NFL quarterbacks, such as Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts, received monstrous contracts this offseason, leaving fans wondering whether other star quarterbacks in the league would sign giant deals, too.
When Chiefs starter Patrick Mahomes signed his 10-year, $450 million contract in 2020, he was the highest paid quarterback in history. Now, his $45 million annual salary ranks seventh on the list of quarterbacks, per Spotrac.
The two-time Super Bowl champion was asked about where he stands with his contract ahead of the 2023 season.
