Interesting Article: Native Americans in College Basketball

After doing my relatively large project on politically incorrect logos and team names for my sports management class last semester, I have certainly become more interested in Native American participation in college athletics. Now, this article I came across on ESPN today, by Dana O'Neil, talks about a group of Native Americans all playing together for a college team. What I don't get is why they are ok with playing on a team that goes by the nickname "The Fighting Indians." That can't be ok...

Regardless, this is a great article and I suggest you give it a read if you have a few moments.
