From 'Cock Commander' to 'Cluck Norris': How USC's search for a new name for its rooster mascot descended into FARCE
The University of South Carolina has decided to rename their live rooster mascot following a rather bizarre dispute between the bird's former owners and its current owners. Mary Snelling and Ron Albertelli, the former owners of the rooster, do not find it amusing that its new caretakers, the Clarks, have refused to cut the comb on top of its head which was earlier shaped to replicate a fighting gamecock.

Naming rights between the University and Albertelli's have expired and the latter have not shown interest in renewing rights following the changes made to the rooster, leading to the university looking for a new name for the bird that will be in play before their opening footballl game against Georgia state on September 3.
