They already did that man. They wanted to seem tougher so they changed to bulldogs from goats. Seriously.

Or because our school was founded by Yale graduates, the original North Campus is modeled after buildings at Yale, and our first game in Sanford Stadium was against Yale.
Your Gamecock symbol has spurs, your pants have a spur pattern on the leg, and your rooster mascot is named Sir Big Spur, thereby completing the logical reasoning behind the "Gamecock in reference to cockfighting" belief. Seriously, who the frick picks a chicken as a mascot without the allusion to cockfighting? That's just a lame arse mascot.
But if you don't want to take my word for it...
