TCU has decided to no longer call freshmen students freshmen. They are now calling them first-year students. Just seems so odd to me. I truly hope ACU does not decide to go down this path

On another TCU-related note, their winning baseball coach, Schlossnagle, has been hired away by TAMU. Schlossnagle always had a very cordial relationship with ACU that only grew stronger with Coach McCarty's arrival. He was one of the few "big" programs who would bring his team to ACU to play. I always respected him for that.

I truly hope ACU does not decide to go down this path Internally, ACU already refers to this group as 1st year students. So that pony has already left the barn. However, I’ve not heard of any move to change it otherwise. So there will still be “freshmen” at Sing Song, etc. as far as I know.

So are they going to call some kid a “redshirt first year”? Maybe they can refer to us Alumni as “old former students.”
