Again, there are many other issues involved, which I'm not qualified to speak on - I'm just pointing these out.

if you renew the trademark of a certain thing, it is still yours, and cannot be depicted or used in any way that pertains to the originator's intent. And no, ATM has the exclusive rights to use the 12th Man and anything that it entails, advertising, foundations, etc. etc. I have been to many many schools and football games and have never seen any of them use this in any way than just talking about it or communicating it by word of mouth.
