'Noles Win Battle with NCAA (For Now)

Florida State University, which had been one of eighteen schools in the cross-hairs of the National Collegiate Athletic Association over its use of Indian "Native American" imagery and nicknames, got the all clear from the collegiate sports governing body earlier this week. Of course, it probably didn't hurt that the President of the University, T.K. Weatherell, was willing to sue the NCAA over the inclusion of his school in the organization's "red"-list.

Let's see how long it takes for Utah (Utes), Illinois (Fighting Illini) and North Dakota (Fighting Sioux) -- all of which have some sort of arrangement with their respective tribal namesakes or their descendants -- to seek similar head er, redress.
