University of Mississippi sports teams, nicknamed the Rebels, compete in the competitive twelve-member Southeastern Conference (West Division) of the NCAA's Division I. The school's colors are red and blue, purposely chosen to mirror the school colors of Harvard and Yale, respectively.
Since 1983, the administration has distanced itself from the negative connotations associated with its Confederate symbolism, including barring faculty from displaying any Confederate imagery in their offices. In 1997, sticks were banned, under the guise of fan safety, to discourage fans from displaying the Confederate battle flag at football games. This controversy began when coach Tommy Tuberville complained that the battle flag was undermining his efforts to recruit black athletes although such recruitment was probably undermined much more by the general atmosphere of the campus.
In 2003, the administration eliminated Colonel Reb , the on the field mascot since 1979. A contest was held in which fans were invited to design a replacement. The athletic department chose two finalists, Rebel Bruiser and Rowdy Rebel, and invited fans to vote on their favorite. The limited fan response as well as ridicule from fans of rival schools prompted the administration to cancel the poll, so Ole Miss currently has no mascot. However, the school's students have created "Colonel Too". Supposedly he is the Colonel Reb's cousin, and can be found cheering in the stands. Most students and fans were totally against removing Colonel Reb from the field and proudly wear stickers declaring Colonel Rebel as their mascot. The school administration is likely to keep Colonel Rebel as the school's mascot, yet keep him off the football field.
