NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Miami
brings back Olson to run offense
Rich Olson, one of the most respected
offensive coaches in football, has been named offensive coordinator at the
University of Miami. He will also coach the team's running backs.
Olson worked for three years on the
Hurricanes' staff with great success in the early 1990s.
A 29-year coaching veteran in college
football and the NFL, Olson has tutored some of the top names in college and
pro football. He was UM's wide receivers coach in 1992 and was an integral
part of Gino Torretta's success when the quarterback won the Heisman Trophy
that year.
Olson has also coached quarterbacks
Daunte Culpepper, Jake Plummer and Warren Moon in the NFL, in addition to
star signal callers Trent Dilfer, Eric Dickerson and Craig James in the
college ranks.
Mississippi College Choctaw mascot gets OK
The NCAA staff review committee has
removed Mississippi College from the list of colleges and universities
subject to restrictions on the use of Native American mascots, names and
imagery at NCAA championships, it has been reported on
ncaa.com.
In the review of the particular
circumstances regarding Mississippi College, the NCAA staff review committee
noted that Mississippi College's use of the Choctaw name and associated
imagery had received the approval of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians. Therefore, said the committee, the college will not be subject to
the terms of the policy restrictions.
The report indicates that the NCAA
Executive Committee recognizes that a Native American tribe is a distinct
political community and, therefore, respects the authority of the tribe to
permit universities and colleges to use its name and imagery.
The NCAA recognizes that there are, and
will be, disagreements among Native American individuals, groups and tribes
concerning the use of mascots, nicknames and imagery in sports, the report
adds. In those instances in which a tribe endorses the use of its name and
associated imagery, says the report, the NCAA defers to the judgment and
will of the tribe.
UNC-Pembroke has received approval to
remain the Braves.
