That isn't true. The Sioux tribe gave them permission.

The NCAA is just great at treating small schools different than big schools.


I think they were only able to get 1 of the 2 tribes to agree.
Really? It got as far as the government passing, and then repealing a requirement that the name stays.

Not to mention that the only reason the Seminole tribe signs off is because FSU pays them to do so.

Not you morons, the ones on the radio who think teams should wear a different jersey every game.

The Cavaliers basically did that in their last LeBron season. Alternates, throwbacks, mix-and-match fake throwbacks, Environtmental Awareness green jerseys, on and on. It was ridiculous.

There are more than two Sioux tribes, and beyond that, many themselves find the term "Sioux" an insult.

The Chief was not a mascot. He was a time-honored symbol of Illinois' checkered past.

He's been there forever. I'm 44 and remember seeing him on TV during games when I was a little kid. I imagine he and the balck Cowboys mascot talking on the phone at last once a week.


I can remember him from the late 80's/early 90's, and he looked old then.
