The problem I have with this ruling is every school is not equal. Florida State got their nickname after an actual tribe that not only gave their blessing, but they encouraged a lot of the chants and other things that are used in football games as an example. Illinois uses a mascot with no connection to a tribe or any real Native American culture. There is a big difference between the Seminoles and a team called the Indians or Redskins.

Just an opinion.

Peace
