NCAA Backtracks

The National Collegiate Athletic Association has decided to backtrack from its absolutely brainless politically correct pronouncement banning Indian mascots. Now, the NCAA brain surgeons say it's acceptable to use Indian names if the tribe approves.

Maybe I'm looking at this issue from the wrong perspective, but it seems to me that the universities and colleges are being set up for a ready-made shakedown. Consider for a moment the scenario where the university is forced to get permission from the tribal elders for use of the name Sioux, Seminole, Apache, Comanche, Cherokee, or whatever. Would not the response be, "Sure, we will give our blessing if you pay us?"

Thanks, NCAA. You laid one stinking loaf and, to cover the stench, you pinched out another.
