The Seminoles -- the tribe, not the football team -- threatened to sue the NCAA when it started leaning on Florida State over the mascot and nickname. The lesson the NCAA learned from that was not that there might be diversity of opinion on the subject of mascots, but that the Seminoles were not people to be messed with. If Prince Lightfoot had gotten a lawyer, this all might have turned out differently.
