He is agreeing with a lot of alumni and former administrators I've talked to.
Here are a few of the thoughtful and relevant points in KW's column that are very similar to my own feelings and those of some other posters here-
Most other institutions either lost their NCAA battles or quit fighting them, but Bradley held its ground. In April 2006, the NCAA allowed Bradley to keep the “Braves” nickname without restrictions....
Bradley “Braves” won. Time to go find a mascot without a tie to Native American imagery....
What the heck for? After fighting the NCAA for almost two decades and winning, the administration was ready to cave in....
Doesn’t sound very brave to me....
...the whole process seemed to be pushing the notion of a pre-determined change....
...I do have a problem changing the name after winning the fight....
What I don’t get is why Bradley, in this process, tried to create the impression that it cannot have a mascot as long as “Braves” remains the nickname. That simply is not true...
There’s no valid reason Bradley cannot remain the “Braves”.... unless this outcome has been pre-determined.
