It’s official: Ole Miss chooses bear as mascot
The eight-month process to find an on-field mascot began in February, when Ole Miss students voted 3-to-1 in favor of a student-led effort.
“We gave everyone in the Ole Miss community a voice and are comfortable with our decision, knowing it was the most popular choice,” Ty New, committee co-chairman, said in the news release. “The fact that we were completely transparent through the process makes this a credible choice.”
More than 13,300 people participated in the poll, according to the news release, with 87 percent supporting at least one of the three options.
