Colorado's football team introduced Ralphie VII, a new live buffalo mascot, who will debut at Folsom Field against Wyoming, continuing the school's iconic mascot tradition.

Ralphie VI, the Colorado Buffaloes' mascot, is retiring after four seasons due to her indifference to running at games, and will now enjoy a relaxed life on a ranch. She is being replaced by Ralphie VII, but will not participate in the upcoming season's mascot runs. Ralphie VI's tenure was the shortest among the Buffs' mascots, and her retirement marks the end of a notable chapter in Colorado football tradition.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has renewed its call for the University of Georgia to end its use of live bulldog mascots following the death of Uga X, the school's winningest mascot. PETA claims that the breeding of breathing-impaired bulldogs for use as mascots is cruel and leads to suffering and premature deaths. The organization is urging the university to replace live animal mascots with human mascots and to stop promoting deformed dogs.
