When Northern Illinois women's basketball coach Lisa Carlsen was a player from 1988-92, her college had two different names for the basketball teams.
The Northwest Missouri State men's team was nicknamed the Bobcats.
The women's team was nicknamed the Bearkittens.
"At the time, I didn't (care). I absolutely would now," Carlsen said . "I absolutely would think it's the dumbest thing I ever heard now, but at the time, I didn't."
While the name has been long since changed – the Northwest Missouri State women's teams are now nicknamed the Bearcats – there remains a debate about whether it's wrong for schools to have two different mascots for its schools teams.
