The Ole Miss Rebels are the intercollegiate athletic teams officially representing the University of Mississippi. Originally known as the "Mississippi Flood", the teams were renamed the Rebels in 1936 and compete in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)'s Division I. The only exception is the rifle team, which participates in the Great America Rifle Conference because the SEC does not sponsor that sport. The school's colors are red (PMS 186) and navy blue (PMS 2767), purposely chosen to mirror the school colors of Harvard and Yale, respectively. With a long history in intercollegiate athletics (Ole Miss began football in 1890), the university competes in 18 men's and women's sports. Student-athletes, 630 in all, received all-conference academic honors from 1995 to 2004.
Although a campus committee adopted the Rebel Black Bear as an on-field mascot for sporting events to replace Colonel Reb, the teams retain the name Rebels.
