UCF would appreciate if you’d stop calling them the Golden Knights

Vegas' big unveiling wasn't without an unexpected victim.

The University of Central Florida, which went from using Golden Knights to Knights as its team nickname in 2007, tried to make that clear after the NHL's newest expansion franchise announced Tuesday night that it was adopting the former.

The school's athletics department changed its Twitter bio to further emphasize the point.

But even that wasn't enough to deter people from claiming Vegas was copying UCF.
