MUNCIE, Ind.— Unlike Indiana's other major colleges, Ball State University isn't trying to buy up possible school Internet domains names using a new suffix meant for pornography sites.
Officials at Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame and Indiana State have all taken steps to secure site names using the ".xxx" suffix that was approved in March by the organization overseeing the Internet address system.
Ball State spokeswoman Joan Todd tells The Star Press (http://bit.ly/st6h8K ) that the school isn't doing anything with the .xxx naming rights but didn't give an explanation.
Other universities have paid for 10-year rights to domain names such as Purdue.xxx, Indianauniversity.xxx and Hoosiers.xxx to order to keep their names from being connected to pornography sites and to protect the schools' trademarks.
