I've never actually seen the Padres mascot. What is their mascot? They actually had a guy in priest robes as their mascot?
Yup. It's a cartoon of a priest, but it's a monk swinging a bat. (kinda like Chief Wahoo is an Indian...)

The SDSU Aztecs changed their mascot, due to social pressure, and against the desire of nearly all the students and alumni a few years ago from a pretty cool "Warrior Montezuma" to some lame-ass "Diplomat Montezuma", even though there weren't any actual Aztecs who were offended.

I think this whole NCAA thing is all a little over the top, but it isn't like I am surprised by it. It was only a matter of time. You think Illinois will ever get rid of the Chief? I doubt, nor do I want them to.
A little over the top? Gee, ya think? ;->
I'm curious to see what happens with the Indianapolis 500, and for that matter Indianapolis, Indiana, in general!
The "it's all for the sake of PC" is pretty strong here, IMO.
