"It is an attractive design that represents the excitement and competitiveness of Mount Olive College athletics."... The University of West Georgia recently addressed two issues when it changed its nickname from Braves to Wolves.

"From the president on down, it appeared to be the thing to do in the long run," football coach Mike Ledford told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. "We’ve had more interest about being the Wolves than we ever had being the Braves." ... The West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference has added a blog to its Web site (www.wviac.org). Associate Commissioner Will Prewitt said the blog will feature student-athlete and coaches journal entries, along with historic pieces.
