In other news about how stupid the NCAA is, it denied appeals by McMurry University (Division III) and by the College of William and Mary (Division I-AA) to be removed from a list of schools subject to restrictions on the use of Indian mascots, names and imagery at NCAA championships. This also means those schools will not be allowed to host NCAA championship events.
But Florida State is still allowed to have a “Seminole” in full costume ride his horse on the field and for the band to play songs called “War Chant” and “Seminole Uprising” during games.
I’m sure revenue had nothing to do with this decision.
