Now taking mascot suggestions

Before I ramble on, let me acknowledge that I realize that some of the nicknames used in college sports may be considered offensive to some individuals or groups. My issue is not as much the names as the fact that the aloof NCAA higher-ups, who have decided to ban the use of Native American or other ethnic mascots in NCAA postseason tournaments, have made a national mandate out of it rather than letting the schools address the issues on an individual basis. Apparently, local approval is not sufficient to preserve the existing mascot. Florida State for example has the approval of the Seminole tribe in the state of Florida to use the Seminole name but the NCAA will not permit them to. Luckily for FSU, the football team will not be affected as Division I NCAA football does not have a playoff or NCAA championship tournament (rant on this subject will occur in October). However, when March Madness comes around, it will be interesting to follow the exploits of the Florida State Felons or the Illinois Orange (I hate nicknames that are colors but with Syracuse and Marquette threatening to pave the way Illinois can't be far behind).
