Illini Chief Must Go: The NCAA rejected Illinois’ appeal stating that the school’s Illini and Fighting Illini names and imagery do not qualify as “hostile” or “abusive.” The NCAA issued a list of schools that must discontinue the use of nicknames or images during post-season events or else the NCAA will ban those schools from hosting post-season tournaments. The Illini can keep the nickname, but the NCAA asserted that the imagery, including a student dressed as Chief Illiniwek, cannot continue. School officials are happy that the NCAA won’t force teams to drop the Illini nickname and are considering the decision before proceeding with any actions regarding the Chief.
