It is patently false that “nobody knows Cal and UC Berkeley are the same”. Some people don’t know it. Millions do. There are some people that don’t know Ole Miss and the University of Mississippi are the same. Big f-ing deal. Just ask Kirk Herbstreit. He has championed “Cal” throughout his time at ESPN, argued against Mack Brown’s usurpation of the Rose Bowl, etc. NOBODY covering Cal in the national spotlight (basketball, football, swimming, rugby) on TV has ever thrown shade on the Cal brand, and it is freely offered that the campus is in Berkeley. Sure, some people might not be educated on what Cal is, but this is not a reason to mess with the Cal brand, which is, by the way, awesome. If you want to inform the people you meet that you went to “Cal Berkeley” or “Berkeley,” you do you.
