NCAA Settle with North Dakota over Nickname

4
Vote

by 74.129.121.174

The NCAA has settled [1] the lawsuit filed by the University of North Dakota over the use of the Fighting Sioux, allowing UND the right to use the nickname and imagery for three years while it tried to obtain tribal approval to use it longer. If UND does not obtain approval from the tribal councils at both the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock Sioux Reservations to retain its nickname within three years, then it must give it up.

I hope they lose it, just so they have to completely destroy the Ralph Englestad Arena to remove all the symbols. And so I can see the look on my dad's (UND Alum) face when they do it.

I don't understand why it takes 3 years to get tribal approval. Give them a year at most to get approval and a year more to change it if they can't.
