NCAA ban on mascots

This does bring up a fine kettle of fish - if I may say fish. Around here we have a high school whose nickname is the Rams. The gentially female teams use the nickname Lady Rams. Oh boy.

On an interesting side note, the mascot of the high school I attended was the Knights. The girls' teams were often called the "Lady Knights," but one teacher (who had extensive knowledge in the history of the medieval period) always said that they should be known as the "Dames."

The change was never made. :-p
