    The school will appeal the NCAA's recent ruling banning the use of Indian names and imagery, athletic director Bobby Staub said.

    "We received information from the NCAA about the appeals process and that's what we were waiting on," Staub said. "Now we're collecting that data and we're going back to our committee that was involved in our mascot self study to begin with. They are formulating their plan to submit an appeal."

    ULM is one of 18 schools using mascots that the NCAA deemed "hostile or abusive." Florida State on Tuesday won its appeal and will be allowed to use Seminoles as its mascot in any postseason appearances.
