Those wacky fellas at the NCAA and their new rules

If you think the BCS is bad check this doozy out. My apologies to Florida St fans who actually have deals with the Seminole community for the use of the name and use it as a positive toward that community.

At least 18 schools have mascots the NCAA deem "hostile or abusive," including Florida State's Seminoles and Illinois' Illini. The full list of schools was not immediately released.

Now we can just sit back and wait for the passive Irishmen to get the NCAA to stop the "Fighting Irish."

I'm still waiting for an NCAA rule on the name Beavers.

Because, as we all know, using Indian mascots is the #1 problem plaguing college sports.

Next up, Catholic exorcists file a class action suit over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

Followed closely by Southern Baptists suing over the Blue Devils ("dammit, they're RED, anyway...")

Every one of these schools should simply ignore this 'rule', which is nothing more than PC baloney gone haywire. If this pathetic little band of PC police whining and bitching can get a ban, then an overwhelming response of 'stick it where the sun don't shine' from the schools should have the opposite effect. The NCAA is fast becoming a kangaroo court, anyway...
