Never realized that every dog in FBS is either a Bulldog or a Huskie.
Albany, SIU, A&M and Tennessee all say "hi"
?? Albany and SIU aren't FBS. Guess I was going by names and neither Aggies or Volunteers are dogs, are they? Though I see Tennessee has a dog mascot.
Tennessee has Smokey, a Bluetick Coonhound A&M has Reveille a Rough Collie
Some schools have mascots that are completely different from their nickname. UNC is a good example. Their nickname is Tar Heels but their mascot is a Ram named Ramses

We're not sure Tennessee has been FBS the past few years, either.

Good list but I'm shocked you left out my all time favorite mascot, the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, personalized as Sammy the Slug.
How did Syracuse (a giant freaking Orange) not make this list?

RE: FUN Thread: Crazy Conference Configurations
Horizon League 2018:
Oakland
Eastern Michigan
Valparaiso
Cleveland State
Robert Morris
Wright State
Northern Kentucky
Eastern Kentucky
Murray State
Belmont
Note: I think that either zero or one of the following things will actually happen, which is why I put the league in this thread. I just think it's an interesting thought experiment.
There have been rumors, however unlikely they might be, that the Wisconsin legislature wants Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Wisconsin-Green Bay to move to Division II. There have also been rumors that the Kentucky legislature is going to slash funding to state schools by so much that a lot of them will have to cut football, and therefore not have the problem of finding a conference for it that won't also want their other sports. There have also been rumors that after Wichita State leaves the MVC, they will want UIC and Detroit. Of course, the NCAA might actually enforce their rules and make Eastern Michigan drop to FCS, and EMU might decide to drop football altogether. Youngstown State might join a football conference that will make them include their other sports, and Robert Morris seems to want to join the Horizon for their non-football sports for some reason despite the fact that their sports don't match up that well. In 2018, Belmont has the choice of becoming a full member, or losing its affiliate membership.
