It’s not just the activists, John: When the NCAA announced the ban last fall the UNC Pembroke Braves were given an exemption, because the school has had a historically high percentage of Native Americans in attendance (somewhere around 20 percent). Here’s a fiesty opinion piece on the Indian controversy. Incidentally, there are only two Indian teams in this year’s tournament–the Bradley Braves and the Illinois Fighting Illini. And if my brackets are any indication, neither will be left standing after the weekend (Kansas mauls Bradley, and Washington takes down Illinois, if anyone’s interested).
