The Seminole Tribe of Florida that stayed home and fought the white man's dominance are represented by a decendant of perhap's the bravest Indian Chief in history, Chief Osceola.
Max Osceola and the FLORIDA Seminole Tribe are on record in support of Florida State University using the Seminole name. The Seminole Tribe of Florida has been involved in an advisory capacity regarding logo's and even merchandise design's for more than 30 years!
How does this even remotely compare to the ficticious "Chief Illiniwek" dancing on the Illinois basketball court and football field?
It is time to take a very hard look at an organization that wants the college athletic world to believe they are looking out for thier best interests when they have never taken a stand on uniform drug testing. Is it more important to fight over logo's and mascots...or to allow each institution to regulate thier own drug policy's? Note: An athlete at some schools is out after 2 failed tests while other schools allow 4!
