2007 Arkansas State Indians football team

The Indians failed to qualify for a bowl game. Due to a National Collegiate Athletic Association ruling to prohibit depictions of Native Americans as mascots, with a few exceptions, Arkansas State opted to retire the Indians moniker and Indian Family mascots. Arkansas State did have the option to appeal to a Native American tribe and have them adopt the mascot for approval so it could continue to be used under NCAA guidelines, but the University chose not to in 2005. Despite legal fees being offered to fight the ruling, the University instead opted to consult with fans and alumni as to what to replace it with. They opted for Red Wolves as the new name and played the 2008 season onwards as the Arkansas State Red Wolves. A tribute to the original name remains with a popular fans' shirt bearing the slogan "My Indian name is Red Wolf". ==References==
