"NCAA drops the ball in the nickname game"

In this article they talk about the NCAA has put down new guidelines against using native american tribes as nicknames and how it has failed. I find this topic interesting because it gives some good view points from both sides of the spectrum. The one is the nickname of a university should not be "hostile or abusive". The article states one of its main points on how the NCAA included The FSU Seminole nickname in that category and then dropped it because of the local Seminole tribe supporting it. In my opinion the NCAA should leave this issue up to the schools. Everything has to be politically correct because our socitey is so sensitive today and i don't think the NCAA has the right to decide what a private institution should do within its' own school.
