You are correct, supposedly FSU has permission to use the name. Link

The Seminoles are the only American Indian tribe never to sign a formal peace treaty with the United States.

Today, they have sovereignty over their tribal lands, and an economy based on tobacco, tourism and gambling. "Seminoles" is also the nickname of the athletic teams of Florida State University. In response to the NCAA's proclamation that Native American names and logos will not be permitted by its member institutions unless the namesake tribe concurs, both the 3,100-member Seminole Tribe of Florida and the 6,000-member Seminole Nation of Oklahoma have officially approved the relationship and the details of the images used.

my in-laws are both from illinois and one of them graduated from u of i. the family on my wife's side are mostly illini fans. just yesterday, my father-in-law told me that the school board/committee had held a "secret" meeting, without the acknowledgement by the illinois alumni association, and had decided to comply with ncaa's ruling. this has pissed off many, i mean MANY illinois alumnus, whom take PRIDE in the tradition of their school. my wife's father has decided to terminate his annual contribution to the university for the reason that the university failed to continuously fight for this issue.

You're damn straight.

I find it offensive that Notre Dame calls itself the fighting Irish. I don't care if it's true OR a tribute (like virtually all of the Indian names were), I want it off.

What's fair for the goose is fair for the gander, even if it's typical hypersensitive PC bullshit.

Hell, I have two testicles. The Rhode Island School of Design Nads offends me. :slappy:

However, I do like their cheer: GO NADS!

and you thought Chief Illinwek was offensive:

Nads vs. Clark U. - Oct. 26, 2003 (10/25/2003)
The Nads creamed their competition with a stiff 4-0 victory,
sending Clark home with their sticks between their legs.

I'm a white descendant of the peaceful people of Ireland. Can you think of a mascot that would offend me so I can sue them? Thanks

This is easy. I know you meant the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics' dunking leprechaun didn't land his dream job by chance
