NCAA ban on mascots

Mark-

Thanks for the info-- didn't realize the NCAA wasn't involved in the BCS. I still find the NCCA taking such a strong stance on this one particular issue a bit suspect, though, considering everything else going on out there.

Two other things--

I never understood the whole "Lady x" thing. Why is it necessary, why can't both teams have the same name? It just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, we can tell that you are all ladies, do we need it on the uniform?

Changing from the Trojans to the Spartans doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Perhaps they should have read the Iliad. While the Spartans never exactly got along with Athens, they certainly could not be interchanged with Trojans.
