TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) The new mascot for Northeastern State University will be revealed later this morning.
School officials are to announce the new mascot during a news conference on campus.
N-S-U has been the "Redmen" for more than 80 years but is changing because of an N-C-A-A ban on the use of some American Indian mascots during postseason tournaments.
School officials say they got more than 400 suggestions from students, alumni, faculty and staff and are choosing from six finalists.
The choices are 'Thunderhawks'; 'Thunderbirds'; 'Riverhawks'; 'Riverwolves'; 'Wolves'; and 'War Eagles.'
