I find this to be one of the funniest/best ideas ever. No way it'll probably happen, but big kudos to whichever Ole Miss students thought of this.
Admiral Ackbar Closer to Ole Miss Mascot Status

Admiral Ackbar -- the Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance fleet -- is one step closer to becoming the new on-field mascot for the University of Mississippi.
Ole Miss is in the middle of a movement to replace their old mascot -- Colonel Reb -- after the school decided they wanted to update their image.
Tuesday, the students voted in favor of crowning a new mascot to represent Rebel Nation ... and the favorite so far is none other than the most famous Mon Calamari in the entire universe.
Several pro-Ackbar websites have recently emerged -- making the Admiral the heavy favorite. The University tells us the decision on the mascot is entirely in the hands of the student mascot committee. The University will hold a vote in the near future -- we'll keep you updated.
May The Force be with you.
That's very funny. But it saddens me that they want to bail on Colonel Reb.

Yeah, the Warrior vote turned out real well...didn't it.
This is why students shouldn't have a vote.
At least Ackbar's still a Rebel.

The students voted for Warriors overwhelmingly. Administration killed it.
