I am an avid FSU fan and have been since grade school. Here is the deal.... FSU and the Seminole Tribe of Florida work hand in hand to develop anything at FSU and have for many years. I went to Homecoming a couple of years ago and they have an FSU Homecoming Queen and a Seminole Tribe Homecoming Queen. The Seminole Tribe of Florida wrote the NCAA saying they support FSU's use of the "Seminole" mascot. So the NCAA, in their ignorant wisdom, said "okay, well we;re sure the Seminole Tribe of Oklahoma is offended and thus you must change."
Less than a week after the NCAA made this comment, the head of the Seminole Tribe of Oklahoma wrote the NCAA and said they too support FSU b/c FSU works so closely with the Seminole Tribes.
It just shows that if you're not offended, don;t worry b/c the NCAA is here to be offended for you, and to tell you what you should and should not be offended with.
Meanwhile, boosters and agents are giving kids cars to go to certain schools, high school basketball players do not need to qualify for college b/c they can just go pro and some collegiate athletic programs (Cincinnati and Arkansas basketball come to mind) have a 0% graduation rate. Personally, these things offend me more than what schools use for their mascots.
