[QUOTE="Vermilion Slim, post: 1372596, member: 588137"] Yeah, I’ve always felt the only way you go back to having the chief symbol (not the dance) reinstated is to have a large percentage (like almost all) of the merchandise profits go towards developing a robust American Indian Studies Program at UIUC as well as towards tons of regional outreach efforts to secondary schools regarding American Indian history and culture. Theoretically both sides gain something at that point. Pro-chief folks get the symbol back, anti-chief folks get a revenue stream to support what has become a dilapidated department at UIUC, and the university (supposedly) would get more donations from people who have held back money due to this issue. Doing that, however, would require tons and tons of other moving parts with the NCAA, tribes, etc. that nobody seems to have the stomach for at this point. [/QUOTE]
