Butler's bulldog banned again, Monday, March 21, 2011 [1] Butler's bulldog will be impounded again next week. School officials say Blue II will not travel to New Orleans, where the men's basketball team faces fourth-seeded Wisconsin Thursday in a Southeast Region semifinal. NCAA officials banned live mascots from games this past weekend, saying there was not enough space and because of the quick turnarounds for other events in those arenas. The NCAA said it may give Blue II an exemption if Butler makes it to the Final Four again at Reliant Stadium in Houston.
