        I know that in the case of media/entertainment sites, they're
more interested in protecting their trademark than getting money for
the use of it.  You should try offering to put a disclaimer on your
site stating that the school owns the trademark and your use of it is
not intended to usurp that.  (The Lurkers Guide to Babylon 5
<http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html> has such an arrangement
with Warner Brothers, for instance.)
