Definitely TruthInTelevision. If it's not the Wildcats, it may well be the Tigers. Numerous universities and colleges, such as Arizona, Bethune-Cookman, Davidson, Kansas State, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Northwestern, Villanova, and Weber State prove that not even colleges are immune. Just to name a few.

Added a paragraph about the recent uptick in schools changing un-PC nicknames to generic animals.

Added DiffLines:


This can also be done in fiction as a slight dig at the NCAA's recent naming policies. While the name Wildcats is historically popular, the number of teams vaguely named after cats and birds has exploded recently as schools try to get away from older, politically incorrect nicknames.
