The NCAA forced under threats against their scholarships the Division III McMurry University Indians to rename their sports teams. I know firsthand because this happened in my area of West Texas. Nobody wanted it. There was no choice. The name War Hawks was chosen as a substitute after a renaming contest. People like the replacement name, but in their hearts still these are the McMurry University Indians. Officially, they can’t be. A football team with no scholarships to give? Thanks for nothing, NCAA.

They did the same thing to the UND Fighting Sioux. So far, they haven’t even picked a new name, but to me, they will always be the Fighting Sioux.

So how is it that NCAA came to this PC position? Who swings such a heavy club that they can break kneecaps at NCAA to get them to lean on small colleges like this?

There are several NAIA schools in Texas.
