DEL.ICIO.USBut casket tags for Gator fans will require a $60,000 up-front fee and approval by the Legislature
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Walter Jones at Insider Advantage says the state Board of Regents today is expected to eliminate a 26-year prohibition on decorating one’s casket with with bulldogs, yellow jackets, eagles — any of the logos of Georgia’s 34 colleges and universities.
Jones writes:
The prohibition appears on a list of forbidden uses for University System of Georgia trademarks approved by the regents in 1982. Ironically, the list was never incorporated into the regents’ policy manual.
“It’s sort of a procedural limbo here because it wasn’t a policy,” said Chancellor Erroll Davis.

Interesting. There is a new company in the US that is making caskets with school logos. All of a sudden there is a removal of the prohibition of school logos. What a coincidence.
