        Here's an easy fix...change name to "Fighting Sue's," in honor to the only winners in this exercise in silliness and PC extremeism--the lawyers who put on this inane production for the State of ND, the NCAA, and the anti-nickname zealots associated with the tribe. Name sounds the same, and the new mascot can be a slick looking barrister in an Armani suit.

        So, as someone on the outside that's often heard the rumor, does the Englestad (sp.?) family truly have the ability to take the wrecking ball to the beautiful arena if the politicians and lawyers force a binding name change? Now THAT could keep a lot more attorneys occupied for awhile should this be the case!

            According to Wikipedia: North Nickname(s): Peace Garden State,
            Roughrider State, Flickertail State, Norse Dakota, The 701

            So I say we go with the North Dakota Roughriders

              So this is all because the Standing Rock tribe won't have a stinkin' meeting??? Talk about being hopped up on power.

              How about the Smashers? Big boulder, lots of rubble...

              You gotta wonder what the SBoHE ISN'T taking care of while they're holding meetings about this non-issue.

              NCAA said tribe-based college mascots needed support from the tribe for, like, 30 years. Probably to make sure no one was being offended. I get not wanting to offend anyone. I don't get what the Standing Rock tribe has against UND Fighting Sioux. I mean, if a college mascot is affecting your life, don't you have bigger problems? This isn't Family Guy, here...

                If they could, there's no way they would. The family no longer owns the Casinos, the Ralph is a huge source of income for the family. Why take it down?

                      While talking to a friend who went to UND we came up with one suggestion and one problem. They could be called the PS's for Politically correct but they could not use just the name of the State. The name of the State and the one to it's south both contain the name of a Native American tribe so they should be changed at once, immediately or whatever,.

                      Actually my condolences to the hockey fans from Grand Forks.

                        If anyone complains in the NCAA, make them look at Notre Dame and Florida State. If they can have mascot names based on race, why not UND?
                        Oh yeah, MONEY!




                        I beat you to it on this one.

                          You do realize that NCAA headquarters is in INDIANapolis, INDIANa. Wouldn't you think the NCAA would move and boycott using facilities in Indiana until this is changed?

                              Some ideas:
                              -The University of North Dakota Tree
                              -The University of North Dakota Yearly Flood Damage
                              -The University of North Dakota Fighting Nuclear Missiles
                              -The University of North Dakota Soy Products
                              -The University of North Dakota Barren Wasteland

                              Or, if enough students signed a petition:
                              -The University of Sioux North Dakotans
                              Augsburg College: Wait, there's another D-3 school whose name starts with "A"?
