Thanks for the ping.
If a team's nickname really was "hostile and abusive", isn't it the responsibility of the individual(s) damaged by it to take action and seek recourse? The NCAA is really overstepping their bounds here.
Notice that they don't have the authority to tell a team to change their name. They engage in extortion by telling teams they can't participate in postseason play if they don't do change the name. Seems to me that they are violating fair labor practices but I'm sure teams' legal departments are looking into that very carefully.

Seems to me the Gophers get their butts kicked all over the ice when they play UND anyway...

Blahhhh.. America has become a country of thin skinned PC wimps that are obsessed with protecting themselves from phantom slights and offenses fomented by special interest groups and their slimy greedy lawyers aided by twisted liberal activist Judges.
Give me a break, some day everyone will end up in court battling some stupid 'offensive' word, thing, behavior or whatever.. So to all the gossamer skinned limp wrist-ed wimp liberals in America, keep away because I just farted and it's 'offensive' so sue me.
