I hope the NCAA loses their @ss in countersuit. Maybe the Seminoles or the Illini are up to the task?

If you have a problem with this, you should write to the Chief of Operations at the NCAA Headquaters in Indianapolis, Indiana...

I think they should just bury the hatchet.

LOL! A dose of reality.

It's not really about the names, it's about NCAA power.

I'd settle for them banning that constant chanting. Cheeze does that grate on the nerves.

Take off the feathers and put two penis's on it. The fruits at NCAA would love that.

"the athletic logo – which contains two green and gold feathers – could create an environment that is offensive."

I think we ought to form a class action with people named William or Mary. How dare the university use their names without their permission.

PC has hit Northeastern State University 'Redmen' in Tahlequah, OK, too. They are changing their logo/team name.

Tahlequah is the Capitol of the Cherokee Tribe.

How about keeping the letters WM, getting rid of the feathers and putting a slot machine it their place?
