    If the school chooses a new nickname Sioux will slowly fade with time. If the school was smart they wouldn't choose a new nickname and just go by University of North Dakota. If they do that the Sioux name will live forever....

        This is getting more and more interesting...

        There was a presser @ UND this AM from the Athletics side of the house. highlight was the basketball coach saying he'd rather keep the nickname than play in the Summit League...

        REA manager says keep your stinkin' mitts off my building.

            I guess I haven't played close enough attention to this detail... who exactly gets to choose the new name? Is it UND themselves or the SBoHE?

                They might put it to a vote with students and alumni, but i would assume at the end of the day the school admin has to approve it.

                  I liked the comment on the Grand Forks Herald website that said Grand Forks should get an AHL team, call them the Fighting Sioux, so then the Ralph can and will forever be the home the Fighting Sioux, then they wouldn't have to change the building.

                  If the building is not owned by the University, is there really anything they can do to force REA to remove the Sioux stuff?

                    You took the words out of my mouth. By the way, I just saw on Keith Olbermann's show...he's pushing for BU change their nickname as well. PETA is complaining that "Terriers" is disrespectful to dogs. Watch out UNH, Vermont, Northeastern and Maine - you'll be next!!!

                    Actually, though, to be serious for a second, why aren't they telling Merrimack (Warriors) to change their nickname? They made Lowell do it...well, the state apparently did it on their own, but then again, what's the difference? Massachusetts...socialism...Massachusetts...social ism...

                      Yeah, I think it's a great way to keep everything and honor the tribe. Maybe Lakotas as a name would be nice.

                          Such BS !!! We should watch out, maybe cattle farmers will find the MSU or UNO Mavericks bad, or The Gopher Lovers of America will think Minnesota's use is hurtful...

                          Let's just change all the college names to things like: sweethearts, lovers, sugar drops, sportmanshipers...

                              I think the solution is obvious. In the face of this travesty by the NCAA the University of North Dakota should show their outrage by withdrawing from the NCAA and shutting down the program. That'll teach 'em!

                                Can anyone give me the cliff notes version on the stadium impact? Wasn't there something about not being able to use REA if the name was changed?

                                I like the idea of going with no nickname.
