From the article:

The 18-person task force formed to come up with a solution to combine the school’s academic name (UC Berkeley) with its athletics name (Cal) produced an 18-page report that concludes this:

Recommendation #3

Shift the athletics identity to Cal Berkeley in both name and logo. Develop a visual identity that clearly communicates this shift.

In essence, the “Cal” and “UC Berkeley” names were merged for sports in this recommendation.

I think there was a law passed that you can't change the name of universities named after "Texas heroes." Lord knows we wouldn't want to lose such luminous legacies as Sul Ross and Mirabeau Lamar.
