Old Logo on SI

So… I started going to other online sports news sources and it seems that they are not keeping up with Sun Belt teams in general and not just FAU. For instance, FoxSports.com does not list WKU at all in the SBC. Maybe the SBC's marketing/PR people need to reach out to these sources and update them. ESPN is the only one that seems to be accurate.
I agree, but WKU just became a full SBC member. We cannot compare this to a logo that was changed more than 4 years ago and on top of it, SI has been informed about this numerous times. It is just lack of professionalism and it is not about FAU winning games or not. It is SI's fault, no doubt about it. I am also going to blame the marketing dept at FAU for not keeping up with this issues. I am sorry if a offend somebody here, but I will always point my finger to the marketing dept for not enforcing such an expensive branding initiative to the students and the media around the nation. How come one of our local news channel still have and uses our old logo?. Last year when we beat FIU in the shula bowl; they had FIU's logo updated. This logo was redesigned last year and FAU's logo was redesigned 4 years ago? give me a break!
later,

Alex might be on to something, then again, if they have been told countless times, then its falls back on them to make the changes. Could be they are waiting for the school to actually to provide the correct info, don't know.

Part of the problem, for some of these site unless you're in a BCS conference, won't give much of a hoot for the little guys - it's not about us having to earn respect to get our logo right, more about them showing respect to the university in general.

I have talked with FAU about this a while ago. FAU has provided them with the logo. They have repeatedly asked them to update the logo. They have not. In no way is this FAU's fault.
In my opinion, the only recourse that may be doable is a lawsuit. But what would they sue for? Copyright infringement because they "defacing" the FAU name? I don't know… I'm not an attorney.
