Missed Miami-OH because I typed "Redhawks" instead of capitalizing the "H."

Seems a little too picky.

Punctuation and capitalization don't matter, you should have gotten the answer anyway. Must have misspelled "Redhawks"

I very much appreciate that it required the full name of many mascots. This is coming from a guy who at least a dozen times entered a shorter name, expecting my laziness to be rewarded.

Finally finished. (Untimed. I don't really care about getting a level higher than 20.) The way I remembered them all was by conference. So first I started out with the original amount that I knew. Then worked on the ACC. Aced it. Then worked on the AAC. Aced it. (Big 12 was already Aced.) Worked on the Big 10. Aced it. And so on. Great quiz and a pretty difficult one.

Some more nicknames should be accepted beyond just Big 10 (Huskers, Terps). Noles for FSU, Buffs for CU, Cards for Louisville. Also cool to see that the Chippewas got consent from actual Chippewas to continue to use that name, good job Central Michigan.

"Next update July 2024", right there in the caveats.

On Sam Houston State though, please consider not accepting "Bearcats" with a C for the Sam Houston State Bearkats, with a K. I'd argue that it's a different name and people shouldn't get a freebie for knowing Cincinnati.

Hawaii are the Rainbow Warriors. It's an accepted type-in, but I don't know why the grid just says "Warriors" when that name has not been official since July 2013.
