It's the other way around.

Jun 24 2009, 11:51 AM EDT

All aestetics aside you might think about doing your research a little better:

Most of these logos or mascots are lot older than the stuff than you've compared them to. Rather than claiming the logos as the problem you might be asking why this other stuff looks like these logos.

The BYU "Y" was used in the 70's and 80's years before Yahoo was even a dream.
The Duke Blue Devil has been used since 1924.
The Hilltoppers is a reference to Scottish Heritage much like Highlanders.
The current likeness of the Jayhawk started being used in 1941. The founder of Red Robin wasn't even born yet.
The NC State Logo has been used since 1972 while the current Stanford incarnations was several years later.
The WSU Shockers name reflects the University's heritage: Early students earned money by shocking, or harvesting, wheat in nearby fields.
Apparently you're too young to know better.
