Aztecs is OK because the NCAA says so. And they're the NCAA so they can say Aztecs is OK. (That makes as much sense as anything else. ) 1 Quote

Actually in most of these cases it was a whiney contingent of the majority virtue signaling and telling the minority they should be offended and others how smart they are and how much they care. 7 Quote

San Diego State is just a frequent go-to whenever I want to highlight the folly of cherry-picking villains in the nickname debate. Quote

That's all we need is another thing to drive the fanbase apart, even more than it is now. 2 2 Quote

CMU got permission from the closest Chippewa tribe to their campus, because their state's AG didn't F' up their NCAA settlement and make the school require two tribal approvals. If UND had to get permission from their closest Sioux tribe, we would still be the Fighting Sioux as Spirit Lake gave approval. Quote

From the article: “It is incredibly insulting for any African American to have to attend to a school that honors confederate [sic] militantism,” the petition reads. “It is already hard enough to be black at LSU, and these symbols must be changed.” Umm.....no one HAS to attend LSU.

Or that Illinois kept "Illini" because it was named not for the tribe but for a military unit from Illinois and that unit's nickname was "Illini" based on their home state name of Illiniois and it's origin from the Illini tribe name.* *I'm sure that makes total sense in NCAA-think. < facepalm > Quote
