The NCAA has announced it will begin to prohibit college sports teams from using any nickname or logo considered racially or ethnically hostile or abusive. The ban will only go into effect during post-season play. Notifications are being sent out to 18 teams that use Native American mascots, nicknames or logos. Several schools have threatened to sue the NCAA over the decision including Florida State, the home of the Seminoles. Florida Governor Jeb Bush said QUOTE “How politically correct can we get? The folks that make these decisions need to get out more often.”
