Perhaps she wants to change it to: 

"Come and buy a Bucket of Chicken and get free game tickets" 

[LongJim]

Context no longer applies.  Ever.

It’s UTSA, believe me no one would bother to come there and take anything!

And for the time being, Eighmy said the “Come and Take It” signage in the entryway of the RACE building will include a highly visible sign that describes the origin of the imagery, the intention of the tradition and the concerns from within the UTSA community about its historical and recent context.

Nothing says "catchy team slogan" like a long explanation that must accompany the slogan whereever it is used.

They should change it to "Meep meep."

Just stupid. The timing, considering they have used a giant flag for years with the slogan, smells of someone looking for attention.
