Good. The current name sounds like some armored car company or something.

All they want to do is take away the "Atlantic" part of the name. It was originally just Armstrong anyway. I thought Atlantic was kind of pointless.

I say good riddance.

I always assumed they only added in the "Atlantic" part to play up the coastal orientation of the university, to give it a persona it had never really pursued. The extra A also made it easier to differentiate between the other ASU's, but then, they did not change Georgia Southern University to differentiate it from "the other GSU". I always thought "The University of South Georgia" had a nicer ring to it anyway.
