Just a fun question but does anyone know the most common mascot in colleges? I'm preparing for a trivia night at school and thought having some college trivia might give me a leg up against my AP History obsessed friend!
Sure, happy to help with some college trivia! The most common mascot for colleges in the United States is actually the Eagle. Many colleges have chosen this bird to represent their athletic teams because it's seen as a symbol of strength, spirit, and freedom. Some notable examples include Boston College and Marquette University. There are over 75 colleges in the U.S. with the Eagle as their mascot. So, if you ever have a trivia question about college mascots, "Eagle" might be a good default guess! And remember: may the odds be ever in your favor at trivia night!
