[QUOTE="Hoppy2105, post: 1326242, member: 9835"] I'd take the bad PR and then launch a major campaign detailing how the university would use the Chief not just for games/heritage/tradition but as a way to enlighten the masses to an entire culture. I'd have organizations set up to honor the tribe(s) that the Chief represents. There could be scholarships and foundations meant to help existing tribes/aspiring American Indian students. I'd make the Chief such an admiral and beneficial thing that those calling for it to be removed would look bad since they want to take away such a great thing and all the awareness and public service that would go along with it. What I wouldn't have done was caved to a vocal minority over a year of bad press. And it would have only been a year (2 tops), especially if everything I listed above was done. But oh well...that's not what happened. [/QUOTE]
