Arkansas State Retires Indian Mascot: At the Indians’ final game of the season against Louisiana-Monroe, Arkansas State honored current and former students who donned the Indian mascot apparel to energize the team’s fans. Three students take turns dressing as the mascot at athletic events and other university functions. But the school has to change its mascot and nickname after the NCAA deemed the Indians to be a hostile or abusive nickname. The NCAA is cracking down on ethnically or racially insensitive nicknames, especially ones that target American Indians. Arkansas State will be the Wolves or Red Wolves next season. If they had ignored the NCAA’s ruling, the university would be ineligible to host any championship events in the post-season. [3/01/08]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
