"The staff review committee noted the unique relationship between the university and the Seminole Tribe of Florida as a significant factor," the NCAA said Tuesday.

So they didn't review this before putting them on the "list?" Idiots!

Are the fighting Illini and the Utes next?

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

The NCAA said it would handle reviews from other schools on a case-by-case basis. The Illinois Illini,... Utah Utes...

Whoa.....how about a little irony here?

The states themselves are named after the tribes!

In other words, someone actually stood up to these PC nazis at the NCAA and they folded like a hooker who got hit in the stomach by a fat guy with sores on his face. </JoeyTribbiani>

Does this mean fans can still do the chop?

Seriesly, the NCAA has outlived its usefulness.

[MarineBrat]

because of their hostility to American Indians.

If there's any HOSTILITY going on it's coming from the asses at the NCAA. They have got a lot of nerve to call this hostility.

There we go...

...but since the Tribe of the Celts never endorsed Notre Dame I - Mr. Ridiculously Politically Correct - demand that that school drop the racist moniker "Fighting Irish".

NCAA=Neo Communists, Anti-American.

You are only half right. They folded alright, guess who the "$omeone" was.

I guess Florida St. can expect to be investigated for recruiting violations in the near future. Then they will not dare humiliate the great NCAA bureaucracy again.

[Sometimes A River]

The Illini are on the list, I believe.

And from what I read, one of the people on the NCAA committee who made the decision, said the Fighting Irish and the Ragin' Cajuns are next.

IDIOTS!

BTW, let me say, albeit somewhat belatedly:

Welcome NCAA headquarters to INDIANapolis. INDIANa!

[Mr. Blonde]

One thing I will say for the NCAA is they push athletes very hard to graduate. Athletes have to have a certain amount of a degree sheet done each year. The first year it is 20% where a normal student doesn't have to have anything on a degree sheet done. But other than that yes the NCAA is useless.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The NCAA must have a lot of spare time on its hands.

"...and the Utes next?"

Ute? what's a Ute?

[rocksblues]

Yes the Illini and the Utah Utes are on the list.

Not a kid from Brooklyn but an Indian tribe from Utah.
