How long has Iowa and Wisconsin not been scheduling teams with Native American Nicknames? Reading the article on uscho.com was the first I have heard of that.

At least ten years ago, and at least for Wisconsin this rule only applys to nonconference games.

UI cancels game over nickname

By Phil Davidson - The Daily Iowan

Published: Tuesday, May 4, 2004

Adhering to a policy instituted 10 years ago, but not always followed, the UI athletics department recently canceled a baseball game with Bradley University of Peoria, Ill., because of the school's mascot.

Though Bradley got rid of its mascot in 1989, Parker said, the UI did not have much choice in the matter, adding that University of Wisconsin-Madison is the only other school that won't schedule games against Bradley.
