I guess they could rename them the "Utah Sunflowers" until the Sierra Club gets offended and sues.

Political Correctness - Tyranny with manners. (I believe Charlton Heston said this).
It's not surprising that the limp wristed NCAA curled in a fetal position and made this ruling. Wimps.

So what about the Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Why does it pertain to Indian references only? The NCAA's decision seems very racist to me...

Eff the NCAA! This PC nonsense has got to stop.

They should rename the Utes to the "White Trash Rednecks" or "Lardasses". Rural country people and fat people are still fair game (for now).

They're not collegiate, but in the same OT vein, what about the Milwaukee Bucks?;)

How about this from Mystery Science Theater 3000: "The Nummy-Muffin CooCooButters". Now how could anyone object to that? (What do I care? I went to BYU. heh, heh, heh!)

what's wrong with the word yute ?
(Pesci) Is it possible, the two "yutes"...
(Judge) Eh, two what?... What was that word?
(Pesci) Ah, what word?
(Judge) Two what?
(Pesci) What?
(Judge) Did you say "yutes"?
(Pesci) Yeah, two "yutes".
(Judge) What is a "yute"?

The NCAA's executive committee decided this week the organization did not have the authority to bar Indian mascots by individual schools, committee chairman Walter Harrison said Friday, but by preventing those teams from participating in its playoffs, it effectively is forcing the names to be abandoned nationwide. In other words, the NCAA doesn't have the authority to order teams to change their names but they can harass teams into bending to their stupid PC nonsense agenda.
I have a feeling the NCAA is going to get an earful over this little caper. Cripes, they're still reeling from their stupid BCS legacy. What's wrong with these people?

How about the (University of) Utah Mormons? That would raise few hackles.
To: kb2614
maybe LSU's old nickname should be restored.
Course, if they have to drop UTES, then the military should rename all their helicopters

I went to Utah State. I'm sure we'll get sued for one reason or another. I'm surprised BYU hasn't been sued by the Sierra Club, they sure have a cougar fetish these days.
