UI appeals NCAA policy

URBANA – The NCAA's policy restricting postseason competition for schools using American Indian imagery interferes with the schools' autonomy and is the result of a flawed process by the NCAA Executive Committee, according to an appeal filed by the University of Illinois.

The UI sent its appeal of the NCAA policy on the use of American Indian imagery overnight Thursday. The appeal was expected to be received in their offices this morning.
