BU and NCAA smoke-um peace pipe
The
Not that I'm opposed to any college that wants to do that. I'm just stating the rationalization the NCAA is stating for its censorship.
I rather doubt that BU's recent trip to the Sweet 16 in men's basketball has anything to do with it this decision. The U of I went much further last year and is considered more likely by some to make future appearances than is BU (not me, I predict a Final Four appearance).
Hopefully, this will mean many entertaining protest marches on the Hilltop during the coming few years, all staged by smelly hippies and other deluded pseudo-intellectual ninnies out to prove to the rest of us how bigoted WE are and how enlightened THEY are.

Let's have a team called the Rabbis and have some guy dress up in long hair and locks and beard and dance around
It's goofy how some institutions of "higher learning" have this thing about keeping American Indian names for their sporting teams and then recruiting black kids from urban areas to play in front of mostly white fans. Colleges are getting rich off these kids. I wish the NBA would create a minor league system like baseball. Not every kid out of high school should be forced to go to college to pursue their dreams of playing professional ball. These kids should be paid a decent salary and given time to develop their skills instead of going to college where they often get a useless degree, assuming they even graduate.

Hmmm, Dennis, I agree that some of the protesters are very self righteous. But "smelly hippies and deluded pseduo-intellectuals"? Come on, most of us bathe and some of us have done at least some modest amount of mainstream scholarship. :-)
Besides, you are in no position to throw rocks at anyone when it comes to how people are visually precieved. :-)
(nor am I, for that matter; not that this has stopped me)
