NCAA: Appeals Process for Mascots Outlined



Appeals Process for Mascots Outlined: The NCAA outlined the appeals process for schools that want to use Native American nicknames and mascots in postseason play, with the first review scheduled for next week. Appeals will go through a committee chaired by NCAA senior vice president for governance and membership Bernard Franklin, then could be reviewed by the NCAA’s executive committee. A key factor will be support from “namesake” tribes that has approved the use of the nickname or mascot. [8/20/05]
