NCAA bans Native American nicknames for championships
The NCAA unveiled a list of 18 schools with mascots using American Indian names and nicknames, including Florida State Seminoles and Illinois Illini, barred from hosting NCAA tournament games until logos or nicknames are removed. Some schools face exemptions or appeals while administrators press for broader policy changes and penalties for underperforming academic standards.
