William & Mary is the "Tribe"! Hello!!! UND should go with "The University of North Dakota Tribe" and we all know what Tribe that would be!! Now what is the NC$$ to do? Make William & Mary drop the name? Then go with "The University of North Dakota Seminoles" NC$$ have a problem with that? Then tell FSU to change their name! I would make it a pain in the *** for the NC$$.
Good Post BobF...about time to fix/wakeup the all mighty NC$$. But imo they will ALWAYS be the Fighting Sioux from North Dakota...no matter what they change it to...enough said.
Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

Spirit Lakers. They supported the Sioux name. It's a Sioux tribe. Eat it, NCAA.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.
Tastes like a warm summer day. -Raylan Givens
Some highlights:
Being considered -
No nickname, staying as North Dakota is the favorite. Most explanation being "If we can't be the Sioux, we won't be anything"
Flickertails seems to be the favorite actual nickname
Quite a few votes for Frackers Abdominal Snowmen
Merkins - How in the world did this make the consideration list?
Not being considered-
Fighting Sioux and it's derivatives filled 128 pages. That's longer than the entire list of nicknames being considered (The pdf says 214 but there's almost 100 blank pages)
