"NCAA upholds Fighting Sioux as abusive nickname" (North Dakota)
- As seen in todays USA Today
Apparently appeals we're granted to Florida State, Utah & Central Michigan.
PETA has now asked that the Unirsity of South Carolina "Game Cocks" change their name as it promotes animal cruelty.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish however got a pass.......
What's next.........PC taken to far here?

My college swim team's nick name was the "Toughukkers" say it real fast three times. That's what we did as our team cheer. The official name for the school was the "Roadrunners" Metropolitan State College of Denver. But we thought that just plain boring. So how have times changed since the early 80's. We used to go to 3.2% beer happy hour after Friday afternoon practice with our coach! Back then, you could drink 3.2 beer at age 18 in Colorado. You say only 3.2 beer, trust me it works on a empty stomach just after swimming 6000 or 7000 yards. We were only NAIA but we had fun.
Where I went to college, now has a rule that no staff can drink alcohol where students are present. They've had terrible times with this at first in restaurants & bars. Now, I think it is only together as a group.
