WRONG! Vulcan is associated with oil based products and as we know, oil is evil and the destroyer of worlds. Every mention of anything associated with oil must be eradicated. Sorry but the Vulcan's will just have to come up with another nickname!!

What about the Vulcans in Star Trek? They are very offended by the use of the name for a mascot by the humans, but just show no emotion about it! LOL

Good article on what seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. Also confirms the scholarship program that is an amazing opportunity for college age tribal members.

Originally posted by CALUPA69 View PostNo worry I had an opportunity to mine meld with Spock's great grandfather recently and he said all citizens of the planet VULCAN are aware of the use and fully support it. They're a bit confused about why CALIFORNIA is in PENNSYLVANIA, which he pointed out isn't logical, but that discussion is ongoing.

The case of the SEMINOLES, the tribe not the FB team, is IMO unique. They are a small, around 2,000, tribe spread throughout 6 reservations in Fla. They seem, from my very uneducated eye, to have themselves in a comfortable position. I don't know what agreement they have with FSU but I think I've heard that they don't have an issue with the use of the mascot. I would like to know if they are compensated in any way. It would seem at the very least that a full ride for any tribe member who applies and qualifies would be a good start. Anyone have any info ?

The campus of Minnesota West in Pipestone is also built on the grounds of a former boarding school and they own an original building as well, although there is no agreement there as far as I'm aware.

Everyone likes to talk about win-win.
What about this solution to the DC football team mascot?
Remove all of the Native American logos and replace them with images of potatoes, like Mr Potato Head!
They would be called the Washington Red Skin Potatoes!
Don't need to change the name of the name of their fight song, etc.
Please don't cancel me. Just a modest attempt at satire and levity.

Not the NFL, but it's a pro football story. The CFL's Edmonton Eskimos dropped their mascot and are considering a new team name.
