The NCAA has opened a "Pandora's Box" by disallowing indian mascots. What happens later? PITA is mad about animal mascots? There go the Eagles, Longhorns, Aggies (wait...not aggies...sorry), Tigers, Bears, etc. Tree huggers don't want trees for mascots, which rules out Stanford Cardinal. Historians take offense to use of "historical figures" so that rules out Sooners, Trojans, Mountaineers, et al (a lot on the list above).

Before too long, there will be no mascots. It will just be North Texas vs. Texas. No longhorns...no eagles...no nothing.

Or we all becime Aggies.

And all mascots look like the "marching solder" that aTm has now...with different colors and the school logo on the hat.

North Texas Aggies vs. Texas Aggies (as opposed to the aTm Aggies)

Oklahoma Aggies vs. Texas Tech Aggies

Ohio State Aggies vs. Michigan Aggies

Actually, since the Aggies is a reference to the agricultural history at TAMU, the farmers will probably get upset. So then we'll all be the Rainbows or Clouds...

One school has already done this.

http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/stories...ry.330b1d3.html

Officials at McMurry University in Abilene have announced that, henceforth, the school's sports teams will have no mascot and not even a nickname.

Better not to have one, school officials say, than to cave in completely to an NCAA edict that the Division III institution change its 83-year tradition of calling its athletic teams the "Indians."

The NCAA placed McMurry on a list of schools with Native American nicknames. The use of the Indian mascot, the association says, can create a "hostile and abusive" environment.
