Delta Dental of Tennessee and the Ohio Valley Conference have

"The OVC Mascot Challenge has proven to be a fierce competition
between our 12 schools," said Beth DeBauche, OVC Commissioner. "OVC
students, faculty, alumni and fans have great pride in their
mascots. Each school wants their mascot to be the best in their

of this effort to promote and celebrate OVC schools."

Mascot Challenge will be announced at the OVC Tournament in
March.
"We love working with the Ohio Valley Conference to celebrate the
