NCAA win %age by mascot group

Superb investigation by the WSJ's David Biderman, who taxonimized division I mascots and calculated their win percentages. This is harder than you might think; here's an excerpt:

"The 'Birds' category would have benefited from the Kansas Jayhawks, but a Jayhawk is a fictional combination of a blue jay and a sparrow hawk, so they land in the 'Mythical Figures' group. Bearcats (Cincinnati and Binghamton) are definitely animals, but they're neither bears nor cats—they're binturongs, Asian animals that join our 'Miscellaneous Mammals' subset. The Georgetown Hoyas join colors and inanimate objects in our catch-all 'Things That Don't Breathe' group since they're named after part of a Latin and Greek chant, not a rare breed of bulldog as some people think."
