Leaders of the Seminole Tribe reaffirmed their support for the "Seminoles" mascot of Florida State University.
Tribal and FSU officials said they have had a long relationship. But they want to do more, such as create educational, health and other opportunities for tribal members.
FSU submitted a report on the use of its mascot to the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The NCAA's Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee is studying the Indian imagery of more than 30 schools.
