They are the Sun Devils.  The reasoning behind the "Revolution" title can be found here: http://www.perjuries.com/bbs/index.php/topic,3270.msg150366.html#msg150366.

Florida Republicans don't get to ask for recounts, Don.

Technically our tournament is The Cornshucker Challenge, not just The Cornshucker, minor note. I kind of like the truncated version: "Shucker"....

I personally liked GAMTI better when it was GAMTIT.

That was long before my time. :)

The original name that I came up with for the BRIC was the Big Red Eastern Annual Super Tournament or The BREAST...The coaches shot down that idea, so we went with our number #2...

I still haven't gotten over it.

I'd like to echo a few other tournament hosts (Don etc..) in expressing my disappointment that my tournament (The Carolina Classic) was not included.  Granted we cannot compete with The Revolution...but still....stings a little.  :-(

Another minor clarification.... NYU's tournament is The Downtown Invitational Classic or more simply, The DIC.
