"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?

Dorothy,
When I first saw it on the wall at the pool, I was really puzzled by it. I really believe it is the responsiblity of a coach to promote the team coming together for the same goal. But I think this is really off the course.
Ken,
For my freshman year, I went to DePauw in Indiana. Not only was the coach a real drinker but he was also the "housemother" for one of the fraternities. I life-gaurded for the faculty swim during lunch hour. Most of the professors only swam for a few minutes. But they all drank inthe faculty lunchroom and showed up at classes drunk. DePauw is very conservative socially but a very wild school. Then I went to Knox. It is very liberal. However, the coaches were very hands-off socially. But every reception had booze served. Now none. Knox's partying wasn't even close to the extreme scenes held at DePauw.
Knox has a spring holiaday called Flunk Day. At 5:30 am the bells go off & everything is cancelled. When I was there it was absolute mayhem. One year, I wouldn't help my friend get his girlfriend to the ER because my mom was a nurse at the hospital.
