Any update on the possible Ute name change? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Is the school going to fight the NCAA on this, or are they going to just roll over? I would have a lot more respect for them if they would decide to take a stand and fight the change. I can't see them as anything other then the Utes - ahem - Yewts - and the drum and feather logo actually is very cool.

I read something today that said that appeals will be considered and that those schools with tribal approval of their nicknames will likely not have to change anything.

Good move by the NCAA, if they follow through with that.

I still can't believe the Redskins are still the Redskins, though.
