The athletic admin is focused on improving facilities and hiring coaches. Their responsibility is NOT deciding on a mascot. That falls to the Communications & Marketing department in Martin Hall, which has a headcount of 21. So yes, we should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
I think this really distills what I've been saying. It's an inflexibility on the part of this campaign that really gets me. A ton of folks do support it, obviously. But again, several major RCAF donors, alums, some non-communications university officials (on their personal pages), expressed hesitance with both the name and overall concept of Albineaux.
For some reason, this HAS to be Albineaux or bust for several folks in this thread. Not that there should be a mascot in general, but it HAS to be an alligator with a skin condition and named after the skin condition even though people aren't rocking with the name. I truly don't get it.
