The kids are back at school and college. So this means the interscholastic sports are also starting up. I've always been interested in the different team names and mascots. How do they come up with some of these?

There is a site on the Internet where you can look up colleges according to their team name. it does not however include those of junior colleges or community colleges.

The listing is for those in the united states. It's amazing how many colleges have the same team names and mascots. So if you want to take a tour of U.S. colleges and their mascots take a look at the site.
