More PC bullsqueese.
The is nothing, NOTHING, anyone can do or say these days that won't "offend" someone.
There is NO Constitutional right to not be offended.
Methinks the NCAA is going to face a shizstorm over this; possibly losing numerous member schools.

Actually it is neat to have this phony "sensitivity" exposed to the public. I am from Illinois, land of the Illini Indians. Not too far from me the Apache helicopter is manufactured and repaired. I think the Comanche helicopter was cancelled. They should rename the helicopter The Wuss in honor of the NCAA committee.
The vast majority of people I know have a profound respect for American Indians. I often teach members of various tribes in college classes.

In cases where the Injuns have no beef with it, why should NCAA. Who they trying to please?

Dr. Kupchella did an absolutely superb job of taking the NCAA to school. They are heist on their own petard...
There is no good response to this letter. If the NCAA tries to respond, they will only make themselves look even sillier than they already do. At this point, their best defense is to drop the subject and retreat.
Nuclear letter!

When is PETA going to get the NCCA to drop all the animal names. Must be very offensive, especially to critters who are at the dining end of many of the predator mascots.

I sure would like to read the answers to these questions but somehow feel the NCAA wont have the balls to respond. Good letter and deserves an answer. BTW, I am Indian and agree with the University. I see nothing wrong with using the Indian's names especially when they have the blessings of the named tribes.

This from the official Oklahoma State historical site:
The name "Oklahoma" comes from the Choctaw words: "okla" meaning people and "humma" meaning red, so the state's name literally means "red people."
According to the NCAA, the state can probably keep it's name, but OU and OSU will be very disappointed when the NCAA requires that the schools themselves be renamed.
According to the NCAA, no indigenous person can be offended, so the very name of the school must be changed.
I suggest The University of Great Football Teams and The "We're In A Boring Town State University."

Just disband the idiotic NCAA and be done with it. Fire every last stinking one of those idiots and ignore them and start a new organization.
This bullshit needs to stop now.
