It seems that putting two feathers on the nickname Tribe went too far and the NCAA has banned William and Mary from hosting NCAA competitions or using the logo in championships. William and Mary will appeal the ruling.
In his letter to alums, the College President wrote:
The NCAA's varied interpretations of mascot policy -- what it allows and what it rejects -- are impossible to comprehend or justify. It is unsurprising, therefore, that the U. S. Congress is considering taking the matter out of the Association's hands. It remains my belief that the William and Mary athletic program should be touted as a national model for unparalleled academics and athletics.
Go Tribe. Hark upon the gale.
The NCAA gotta love 'em.
