I've told a billion trillion times - don't exaggerate!

I'll put the DNC up against the NCAA on the immorality competition any day of the week.

Then they'll probably need to tear down the new hockey arena. The logo is EVERYWHERE in that building.

They could replace the logo with a picture of the President of the NCAA.

Or, with a picture of this gal:

http://www.standingrock.org/history.htm

The Standing Rock Sioux Reservation is situated in North and South Dakota. The people of Standing Rock, often called Sioux, are members of the Dakota and Lakota nations. "Dakota" and "Lakota" mean "friends" or "allies." The people of these nations are often called "Sioux", a term that dates back to the seventeenth century when the people were living in the Great Lakes area. The Ojibwa called the Lakota and Dakota "Nadouwesou" meaning "adders." This term, shortened and corrupted by French traders, resulted in retention of the last syllable as "Sioux." There are various Sioux divisions and each has important cultural, linguistic, territorial and political distinctions.

I see, the North Dakota's alumni were not able to raise as much stink as the Florida State alumni. I am glad there is a firm standard here....

the NCAA has NO POWER other than what the school ALLOWS them to have. They have no legal authority.

In other words - BLAME THE COWARD SCHOOLS for crawling on their faces to lick the boots of these progressive socialists.
