George Washington University is the latest institution to change the nickname of its sports team, dropping the 86-year-old moniker 'Colonials' as soon as they come up with a replacement.The DC-based private university is dropping its 'Colonials' moniker because 'it can no longer serve its purpose as a name that unifies,' the school announced Wednesday.This is despite a survey of 7,300 students that suggested feelings were not particularly strong either way. Only 44 percent responded they wanted to ditch Colonials, while 43 percent said it should stay.
