From the article: The University of Utah is tweaking its official fight song amid concerns the former version was sexist. University President David Pershing announced the changes Wednesday. The new song replaces our coeds are the fairest with our students are the finest. The phrase no other gang of college men becomes no rival band of college fans. But the new version doesnt officially change the lyrics from Im a Utah man to Im a Utah fan. Both are listed as options, allowing singers to choose which phrase they sing. Officials say fans may still choose to sing the former version.

They’d better not mess with UF’s “We Are the Boys”....They tried to do it once, but the students fought back.

I guess they couldn't recruit many fair ladies for the class of 2019 so they had to change the lyrics.

Well, in the interest of accuracy, the change is appropriate since their co-eds were definitely not the fairest. That title belongs to either FSU, ASU or Ole Miss.
