People really need to pick their battles... this is such a stupid one -- why not worry about the quality of education that the athletes on these teams are getting rather than the mascot that they are playing under...
As for The Fighting Irish? Talking with two alum a few weeks back (and my dad - who's major disappointment in life was that ididn't go there) from their cold dead hands they will take the leprochaun mascot - the alumni and their checkbooks at ND have a lot of power... I seriously doubt that name would ever change... (Although they might consider it for a winning football team)
