NCAA gets it right... finally

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has reversed an earlier decision that placed Florida State University on a list of universities banned from using what it called "hostile and abusive" mascots and nicknames during postseason play.

Seminole Tribe of Florida supports the FSU mascot - even helping pick out the colors for the costume. So the NCAA's decision to ban the mascot was seen by many as particularly dumb.

So at least in this instance the NCAA got it right in reversing the decision as it pertains to FSU.

But they have opened the flood gates and other universities still on the list, such as the University of Illinois (Illini) and of North Dakota (Fighting Sioux), are issuing appeals of their own. Good luck to them.
