Agree, but I like it.............
I wish those tribes would work with colleges and agree that having their name representing respectfully could be a source of pride. I like how CMU and the Chippewa tribe went about their business. I had heard the Huron tribal council was ok with EMU using the name but they went and changed anyway out of some PC bs.

The NCHC already has Hawks. They are red.

yeah, from what i've gathered looking into the story before, the tribe was leaning towards ok with it, and EMU's president at the time basically said "screw it, i think it's offensive, we're changing it"

EMU should go back to being Huron's. The only offensive representation left out there is Florida State IMO. That and the NFL team.

The funny thing is, NOW the tribes apparently don't like it.

Maybe the Huron's just don't like being associated with EMU.
