Florida State Prepares for Battle Over Nickname: Days after the NCAA ordered 18 schools to drop “hostile” and “abusive” nicknames and logos in NCAA tournaments, Florida State took the first steps toward fighting their inclusion on the list. Florida State trustees voted to appeal the decision, and NCAA officials said they would gladly hear the appeal. But if they don’t decide in favor of Florida State, the school’s trustees have approved legal action. Florida State uses Seminole symbols with approval from the Seminole Tribe of Florida, schools officials said. In addition to Florida State, Utah also respectfully uses American Indian symbols, according to a member of the Ute tribe who is also executive director of Utah’s Division of Indian Affairs.

-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
