NCAA Misses The Whole Aircraft Carrier on North Dakota Nickname Issue

PHILADELPHIA — Every time there is a change of leadership in the offices of the NCAA, you can only hope that the new blood will result in some out-of-the-box thinking from one of the most bureaucratic organizations ever founded.
I had great expectations when I listened to the latest NCAA president, Mark Emmert, speak at a luncheon I attended in Frisco, TX. the day of the Division I Football Championship game.
Emmert was a breath of fresh air that afternoon as he outlined his plans for a more forthright NCAA. The one-time Montana State administrator even stayed around to watch Eastern Washington beat Delaware in the championship game.
But after reading about how the NCAA is treating the University of North Dakota, it looks like things are pretty much status quo for this most frustrating of organizations.
