In a reversal from its earlier decision, the NCAA stated today that Florida State University may use the nickname "Seminoles" in Post-Season Play. They cited the universitie's relationship with the Seminole tribe as the main reason for the reversal. Since the Seminole tribe has a good relationship with the university and even helps with the planning of events like halftime shows, the NCAA decided that the term "Seminole" is not offensive to Native Americans.
