We should contact the school and let them know they are supported.

"To back its case, the school referred to a Harris Research poll that indicated 81 percent of Native Americans support the use of “Indian” nicknames in high school and college athletics.
On Tuesday, the NCAA rejected Newberry’s argument, stating it “misses the point because it values intent over effect.” "
But if 81 percent of native Americans approve, how bad can the effect be. Anyway, they should just change their name to "The Fightin' Whities" and be done with it.

To heck with the NCAA. Change the name to the
"Fighting 7th Cavalry".

Naturally, the NCAA caved to high-powered schools like FSU, but it will happily continue trying to bully smaller institutions like Newberry into accepting its PC dictates. Personally, I'd like to see all of the affected schools, even those already with "waivers," gang up and pull out of the NCAA, leaving it to lie in a very big own hole of its own making.
In the meantime, bully for Newberry for taking a stand against Miles Brand and his politically correct lunacy.

This is being looked at backward. The NCAA is embarrassed and ashamed of the American Indians and don't want such trash (in their view) displayed anywhere. They feel the same way as the Carlisle school for the Indian children did in the late 1800's. They hate the culture, language and the reminder that there were people here before the white man got here.To eradicate the language, you have to forbid it's being spoken. NCAA is just taking a page out of their book by forbidding any reminder of Indian culture.

The NCAA misses the point and values PC and warm fuzzy commie feelings over logic and reason!

Ah yes, the arrowhead spear is uniquely native American. You see, pre-historic hunters in Europe were using titanium for their hunting.

"...or the arrowhead spear are not displayed in any form."My Scottish and Irish ancestors chipped flint to make arrowheads and spear points. Of course they abandoned such practice a good bit before the 19th century...

Good for Newberry! BTW, Cleveland is phasing out what is, arguably the most recognizable team mascot in America- the venerable Chief Wahoo. Actually, all they need to do is get rid of the feather and put a dot on his forehead and they'd be good to go.

What a complete pile of B.S.!!! I hope Newberry sues the crap out of the NCAA for intimidation, threats of financial harm, illegal coercion, restraint of free trade, and a whole list of legalities. Get a Federal Judge to issue an injunction and then watch the NCAA capitulate on this stuff. As they used to say...Sock it to them...

M. Brand is a worthless coward.
He was a worthless, PC president of IU. Kissed the asses of any and all liberal crybabies. Opposed all conservative or sensible reforms.
Then he took on Knight and trumped up bogus charges against him for basically nothing: he verbally corrected a punk kid who was being rude to him in Assembly Hall. Brand got Knight fired but it was a "Pyrrhic Victory" as he might observe.
He is such an effeminate girly-man. It was so great when he got canned from IU. He was roundly despised.
But, true to form in this PC world, once elites get up to a certain level of status, then, the other elites close rank. Even for a numb-nuts like him. About a day after he was canned from IU, the NCAA announced that he would be their glorious new president.
Another position for this worthless POS to botch up. And he has. In true cowardly fashion, he announces the absurdity that any name of any mascot in any college of the United States, that refers to Indians, will not be tolerated.
This coming from the NCAA, headquarters: Indianapolis, Indiana. What a maroon.
And the Seminole alumni tell him to stick it, and several other huge powerful alumni blocks do too, and so, sniveling person that he is, he starts zeroing in on powerhouses such as Newberry College. "We'll show them!"
You might ask, what sort of training would an imbecilic egghead liberal dweeb like M. Brand have, that would make him behave so inflexibly and stupidly?
He is a philosophy professor by trade. That is great! A professional cartoon character of a professor. A philosophy professor. We sure need more of them nowadays.
By rights, because of his general attention-seeking and trouble-making tendencies, he should be tarred and feathered and sent out of town on a rail.
Maybe, on the Santa Fe Super Chief, if it still goes through Indianapolis.

Why is it that this article refers to the school's "Indian nickname" but never once tells us exactly what that nickname is? Or is it simply "Indians"?

I hope anyone as upset as I am will donate to Newberry. http://www.newberry.edu/giving/default.asp
This is not a wealthy school that can afford an expensive fight. Its a small Lutheran college.
Mick Zais has done a great job since he took over five years ago. Y'all would like him: A conservative West Point grad and retired Brig. General.
Mick will fight this for as long as their finances allow.
