NCAA denies William & Mary appeal in logo ruling
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — The NCAA has denied William & Mary's appeal of a ruling that prohibits it from using its logo showing two Indian feathers at NCAA championship events or from hosting NCAA tournament games where the logo would be displayed.
The news came Thursday in a letter from the NCAA Executive Committee, affirming a May decision that the green and gold logo is hostile or offensive to American Indians.
In that same ruling, the NCAA said William and Mary's nickname, the Tribe, was not necessarily abusive, hostile or offensive, and therefore still could be used.
