IS IT RIGHT that the NCAA bans these nicknames? Some may find the names offensive to native Americans, but i see these college nicknames like Indians and Seminoles as being something the native american community should be PROUD OF. It's a great heritage and sad to say these schools are being forced to change their nicknames. They may be trying to help, but in my opinion the NCAA are just driving the Native American image right out of sports...forcing us all to forget the native american community, just as white men did back during the trail of tears. It's a sad day.
