Title: NCAA is a bunch of wimps
Beernuts - August 23, 2005 08:04 PM (GMT)
just saw on AJC.com that the NCAA is letting florida state keep the seminole name - thats not the part that pisses me off - they go on to say the ban against using indian names continues to apply to each of the other schools and they will examine those instances in a case by case basis
why don't they just come out and say "FSU is bigger than the other peons so we will cut them a break"?
bunch of $$%#@$%

| *The committees didn’t do their homework. When asked to explain their stance on Florida State, given the fact that the Seminole Tribe of Florida had given its blessing to the school, the NCAA’s response was that “other” Seminole tribes did not like the imagery. There is only one other Seminole tribe, in Oklahoma. Yes, the committee did get some letters from David Narcomey, a member of the Oklahoma tribe’s General Council, who condemned the use of Native American imagery by sports teams. But if either of these committees had done its job, it would have discovered that the General Council voted 18-2 last month to uphold the use of such imagery. That fact never made it to the Executive Committee. Oops. *There was never any finding of fact that Florida State’s use of Seminole imagery was “hostile and abusive,” which is how the committee labeled it. It never asked the Florida Seminole Tribe how it felt. It never picked up the phone and asked Florida State to give its point of view. It looked at a set of facts written on a piece of paper and made a call, a bad one. |

I have to agree with a case by case basis myself.
