It looks like they didn't secure any of the domains before making the announcement.

These universities don’t care about domain names. That’s the last thing on their mind.

They usually add a u in front like uWaterloo.ca

I have uMaple.com just in case anything ever comes of it.

uTorontoMetropolitan.ca would be my best guess.

Personally I think its a huge mistake, one has to procure the domain name before finalizing a name. There is nothing more important than your online presence.

I’m willing to give them metropolitan.ca for a small monthly fee.

Personally, I cringe when organizations fail to secure the ideal domain(s) prior to announcing a name change.

Professionally, as a Buyer Broker, I love it, since it means another potential client is on the horizon, LOL.

Although I did graduate from Rye High, they aren't my client ... yet.
