New NIC mascot unveiled

Cecil the NIC Cardinal

Cecil the Cardinal celebrated his 80 th birthday last night with a makeover during the North Idaho College halftime show at the men’s basketball game (a 96 - 60 victory over Colorado Northwestern Community College) Thursday, Jan. 17. He electrified the crowd with some high-flying dunks in his new wings after the old mascot was carted off the court in an ambulance. Video of the halftime show can be seen at www.youtube.com/user/NorthIdahoCollege/ .

I didn’t know the NIC Cardinal was named Cecil. Did you?
