"TSTC" not allowed as a team name. Can I get it approved?

I work for TSTC, Texas State Technical College. We do not participate in sports but as the social media coordinator I wanted to create our college as a team and post in on social media as something fun for our students. "TSTC" is not allowed for some reason. Is there someone I can speak to or a process I can go through to get "TSTC" allowed as a team name?

    3 Weeks and nothing! Ok, how about at least telling me why "TG" can't be used as a team abbreviation?

    It's fairly close to the name of a certain male body part that can't be mentioned here.

    @TurkeySloth "Fairly close" but not. If it's not the actual word, then there's no point in it being banned/blocked.

    And again, how do words like Obihiro or TG even come close to being inappropriate? You can't ban a word for being "close". Or are we not able to create a team based on Pooh and Tigger?

    I think it's just a bug or very faulty first use of an AI and instead of fixing it, you just get, "Thank you for the question.  Pick a different name."  Because that's what passes for community support nowadays with EA.
