\n Oregon and Oregon State have agreed to drop the name \u201cCivil War\u201d for their rivalry game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

The move Friday was made after discussions between officials at both schools and current and former student-athletes. The change also comes amid ongoing protests following the death of George Floyd while in police custody.<\/p>\n

Oregon State President Ed Ray said the Civil War name \u201crepresents a connection to a war fought to perpetuate slavery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile not intended as reference to the actual Civil War, OSU sports competition should not provide any misconstrued reference to this divisive episode in American history,\u201d Ray said in a statement. \u201cThat we did not act before to change the name was a mistake. We do so now, along with other important actions to advance equal opportunity and justice for all and in recognition that Black Lives Matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oregon athletic director Rob Mullins said former Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon raised the issue of the name.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must all recognize the power of words and the symbolism associated with the Civil War,\u201d Mullins said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Oregon State athletic director Scott Barnes said the schools would collectively reach out to athletes and alumni, as well as the university communities, to consider a new name for the rivalry.<\/p>\n

The football series<\/a> between Oregon and Oregon State has been played 123 times and is the fifth-most contested rivalry in the country. This season\u2019s game is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 28 in Corvallis.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s basketball series between the two teams has been contested 354 times.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
