YaneA Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Newberry College, formerly the Indians, is exploring tribal approval for a possible name change to "Newberry Cherokee Indians" (following the route trailblazed by former Catawba College Indians who, with tribal approval, became "Catawba College Catawba Indians"). See link to press release below. I have not found any progress report. http://newberry.athleticsite.com/article.asp?articleID=3200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO (and I'm no lawyer) it is one way OUT of the agreement while staying within its terms. Get one tribe to say "sure, go ahead and call yourselves "xxxx Sioux" and we'll sign on for five or ten years". With that, you've changed your nickname; something can be worked out on a "new" logo and viola! Everybody who is capable of being happy is happy.
