How about the universities do to the NCAA brainstems essentially what the individual union memberships did to the AFL-CIO?
*Fire* 'em.
"It would be a step in the right direction."
...it certainly would.

Absolutely!

I'd have used another f-word :)
The NCAA has gone whacko because of the whackos that are in charge. This is from their site:
"The presidents and chancellors who serve on the NCAA Executive Committee have adopted a new policy to prohibit NCAA colleges and universities from displaying hostile and abusive racial, ethnic, and national origin mascots, nicknames or imagery at any of the 88 NCAA championships."
What is meant by "hostile and abusive?" "The NCAA objects to institutions using racial/ethnic/national origin references in their intercollegiate athletics programs," said NCAA President Myles Brand.
So it's the PC academic crowd that's making the rules. There is a need for a collegiate athletic organization. But its board should be made up of former coaches, refs, players and alums. And of course, Indians :)
