What's sad is this one is the prime example of how the NCAA treats the 'big boys' versus small schools.

FSU got to keep the name Seminoles, and all the logos, because the Seminole tribe / leadership endorsed it and supported it.

The Sioux did the same thing for North Dakota, supported it vehemently, but the NCAA told them nope, get rid of it, or suffer penalties.

That's the one mascot change that's always pissed me off....

The Seminole tribe has an extremely healthy relationship with the university and state of Florida.

There are no legitimate reasons to keep the "Redskins" name. There's nothing within the term that does anything positive for the Native American community. Supporting it just because you're against being "woke" is so fricking stupid. That would he like supporting slavery because "it was accepted back then" and completely out of touch with how society evolves and operates.

The Cleveland Indians logo was an offensive caricature implying that every NA had big teeth, wore a feather, and had tomato red skin. Also, it's idiotic because they're not from INDIA.
