Only "opponents" can disconcert. Hard to see the mascot as an opponent.

If that is the NCAA Women's ruling then the NCAA Women's Committee must have asked Barb Jacobs to come out of retirement to make the ruling because I agree with you 100% that it not only a bad ruling but a ruling that can not be defended by rule.
