Atlantic Owls
'The Atlantic Owls will be going up against the Wyoming Cowboys today'
This of course allows traditions more associated with the ocean and would avoid the annoying and counterproductive association with FIU.
The one word association instantly lends a sort of legitimacy that the 3 letter school often cannot get. On this note, ULL and ULM need to work things out so that ULL can be simply Louisiana (already known as Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns) and ULM can be Monroe
'Atlantic won two bowls in a row, FIU has lost 1000 consecutive games.' instead of 'oh FAU, you guys got in that fight with Miami right?'

Re: Atlantic Owls
We will still be Florida Atlantic University, but when commentators talk about us, they will simply call us the Atlantic Owls, and we will show up on scoreboards as Atlantic.

Re: Atlantic Owls
I think the FAU/FIU confusion will start to work itself out as the programs separate. Right now, to somebody in Idaho, we look and sound alike, but that won't last forever. Yeah, I don't like "FLA ATL" either – would much rather see just "FAU" on the scroll.

Re: Atlantic Owls
As far as being confused with Atlantic University, that school is not regionally accredited (not a real school) with 250 students, and no athletic program.
I think that Atlantic would have more of a memorable impact on the score ticker than FAU….either way FLA ATL needs to stop being used.
