What’s in a Mascot?
June 24th, 2009 - byDoes a college’s mascot name matter to recruits? Sound absurd? Remember that part of the Fab 5 recruiting myth is the lure of Michigan’s new long basketball shorts. The College of William & Mary is considering several extremely unique, some might say absurd, replacements. Their old current mascot a green blog named Colonel Ebirt (Tribe spelled backward) was dropped in 2005 and the school is now searching for a new mascot (interestingly enough the y are still keeping their nickname the Tribe).
Does anyone care if their school has an extremely unique mascot? Does a school’s desire to be extremely politicallyy correct matter? What do you think?
