Bad name change for sure. They could have done better. I would also like to see a concentration downtown. Here's a good opportunity for downtown businesses to step in and help create the programs that are needed through donations, etc. Modis, JEA, are you listening. Kent is a very nice campus and also has potential to be a hub.

The new name makes me chuckle.  Poor FSU...

Someday when FSCJ wins the National title in Basketball we can smile and say... "I remember when..._____."  :)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

How long did it take FSU to win a National title in football?

Dumb name! Why does Jacksonville always feel the need to copy others? The young people are the only ones in this city with creativity and then they leave or give up the fight as they get older.

In their 47th season after resuming the football program (which had been on a 4 decade hiatus while the school was a women's only institution). Interestingly (I did not know til looking for this on wikipedia), it was called Florida State College at the start of the 20th century. But it's becoming harder and harder to win these days with more parity/scholarship limitations yielding more legitimate contenders. Also remember that it could take about a decade from planning to start a football program to actual implementation, plus another decade AT LEAST to build to the point where you can move up to the top division (FBS).

I won't argue that it's not a dumb name, but I don't think the idea was to copy anyone. At least if you believe president wallace's explanation of the name choice.

I wanted something with Jacksonville in it, but you have so many (Jacksonville University, Jacksonville State University - Alabama), it would have been tough.
