Arkansas athletics officials: Time to drop the prefix

It seems that new Arkansas Athletic Director, Jeff Long, has decided that, "We're all 'Razorbacks," and has dropped the word "Lady" in conjunction with its women's sports teams.  Great news, I think.

Most women playing sports on a college level play as hard as their male counterparts. The gender designation always seemed to me to be a way to remind female athletes that they are not as important to the college or university as the male teams in the eyse of the administration.

A few other universitys have made this change in the last few years.  Let's hope it catches on more quickly.
