There is a difference in that the cooling off period for Ole Miss was the change from “Colonel Reb” as a mascot to “Rebel, the Black Bear” as a mascot. The “Rebel” nickname (i.e. Ole Miss Rebels) remained during the cooling off period and never changed. With North Dakota, during their current cooling off period, they do not have a mascot or a nickname.
