IANAL
According to U.S. Intellectual Property law - if you fail to actively defend your trademark/etc. it becomes public domain. So if you are made aware of a possible infringement, and take no action to defend your trademark, you can be found to have abandoned it.

Our high school unis were carbon copies of LSU's. Tiger mascot, P&G, white jerseys at home, H goalposts, and the 3rd down bow tune . Instead of LSU on the helmet it said HHS.

Change the name to "Teagle" and that's all Auburn.

There was a school in West Tennessee that used the Colonel Reb logo. The Ole Miss legal department sent the school a cease and desist letter a couple years back telling them to quit using the logo.
Can they use it now?

About a third of the high schools in Arkansas are the Razorbacks. I can't imagine anyone getting sued over it, just stupid.
