HockeyMom Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 *golf clap* Excellent, PCM! excellent! Quote
ScottM Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Perhaps Mr. Brand would be so kind as to provide the $$$ amounts the NC$$ takes in from various revenue streams from names/logos of schools that are/were deemed "hostile" and/or "abusive". I'm pretty sure the rose-colored glasses set in Brand's office oversee a good deal of money from the "offenders", while at the same time extolling their own "virtues". Has anybody at the NC$$ actually read the definiton of "hypocrisy"? Quote
PCM Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Has anybody at the NC$$ actually read the definiton of "hypocrisy"? Hypocrisy? NCAA? Thanks to that fine organization, millions of people around the country were able to see the non-hostile and non-abusive imagery of the Florida State Seminoles on prime-time national television in a championship football game.

PCM Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Who's that dead president in the lower right corner of the NCAA's new centennial book In the Arena? I believe it's the person who was once quoted as saying: "I suppose I should be ashamed to say that I take the Western view of the Indian. I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth." How extremely insensitive of the NCAA! Where's the outrage from our resident activists? Quote

PCM Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 More than a month after I sent the letter below, I received this response from the NCAA: Dear Mr. Miller: Thank you for your e-mail regarding the NCAA's guidelines for use of Native American mascots at championship events. We recognize that there are many points of view associated with this issue. The circumstances surrounding each institution's use of Native American mascots and imagery is different, and the NCAA is striving to maintain a balance between the interests of particular Native American tribes and its responsibility to ensure an atmosphere of respect and sensitivity for all who attend and participate in our championships. Thank you for your comments on this important topic. Bernard W. Franklin Senior Vice President for Governance and Membership NCAA P.O. Box 6222 Indianapolis, IN 46206-6222 Phone: (317) 917-6222Dear President Brand: I see that you opened your Quote
Sioux-cia Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 More than a month after I sent the letter below, I received this response from the NCAA: WTF!!! There is no way that they read your letter.. Their response is clearly a cookie cutter form letter developed to send to any and all letters the NCAA did and would receive regarding the mascot and logo. This only shows how seriously they view the issue. Hypocrites!! Quote

I'm positive that it took Bernie a whole month to compose a special e-mail just to me. Quote
redwing77 Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Gosh, are you sure? I'm positive that it took Bernie a whole month to compose a special e-mail just to me. Actually, I was thinking it took all this time because Bernie was begging Brand to let him email you a two word phrase with the first word being an obscenity rhyming with duck and the second word being the opposite of on. Unfortunately, request denied. Quote

row5seat5 Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Most excellent PCM!! I've never been able to reconcile the NCAA's condemnation of the Sioux nickname for being hostile and abusive with their willingness to collect the $$$ for the sale of the merchandise branded with the Sioux logo. Apparently they're quite comfortable with the hypocrisy. Quote
HockeyMom Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Apparently they're quite comfortable with the hypocrisy. It's their middle name. Quote
Fetch Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 P you have to make more people aware of this They need to realize that it is just a minority of Radicals that have always & will always hate us I wish the entire membership of tribes could vote on this & make the results known - If a majority voted against us ? I'd say it's time to change - But I truely believe most are Proud of our use of the name & logo These Rebels are the truely Hostiles & Abusives & it is a shame if they can cynically perceiver Quote
Riverman Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Gosh, are you sure? I'm positive that it took Bernie a whole month to compose a special e-mail just to me. I keep reading it over and over and all I get out of the letter the NC$$ sent you PCM was. Something out of South Park. Scr... you guys we are the NC$$ and what we say is gospel.. Quote
