The Massachusetts image is ridiculous. It was a bad decision. Looks really bad.

That map on Coach Paulson in the video looks like nothing more than a stain on his shirt.

I don't understand why we put the state of Massachusetts on the hardwood and some of the merch. It makes no sense to me. It would make sense for UMass. Last time I was at UMass, it was on the court.

I was told in October 2016 while on a tour of the newly renovated arena, before it was opened for basketball, often it was asked where is Holy Cross. The Massachusetts outline was to ensure that there was no confusion when watching a game where the school is located. It also ensures that there is no mis identification with the school that Rudy attended that is now a 4 year institution. That is my understanding as well. Instant geolocation. And yes, there is a University of Holy Cross. In New Orleans. And which started out over 100 years ago as Our Lady of Holy Cross.

We're really in rough shape if geolocation or some similar kind of recognition of the school is why we have a map with our logo. I can't imagine getting into conversations with people about a school in Louisiana or a Rudy movie. If someone I don't know well asks where I went I tell them Holy Cross it's a school in Massachusetts. Most people say sure, I'm familiar, if not I don't worry about it. Improve the program and people will learn what state we're in.

At least have Mass. be black outlined rather than filled in and Crusaders in purple.
Black on purple is invisible.

My suggestion is to sand and buff the floor to get rid of the state of MA. We aren't a state school. It's weird.

At least we don't have this problem

I actually like it, and think it's a great idea. It has the effect of being a nice outreach to the community, since we are in the "heart of the commonwealth"!

Unrelated note: No more automatic NIT bid for regular season champs. Obviously to keep out low-mid major teams.
