ND legislature and Sioux name

Re: ND legislature and Sioux name

The Summit absolutely would not consider them, and the sanctions apply to all NCAA divisions, so they can't even drop to D2 and avoid the sanctions.

NAIA may be all they have left. As for hockey, I think what will be interesting to see what MN and WI do after the WCHA is no longer alive. Does UND lose their two of their biggest hockey rivals? This could get really ugly for the Fighting Who.

What Zoo said.... They will be playing pond hockey with the Canucks if they don't pull their heads out of their collective arses.

Perhaps that's what they are looking for - annexation into Canada, eh?

Re: ND legislature and Sioux name

As 08 states above it is far from over. There seem to be a large number of UND fans who could care less about their being dumped by the BSC and would prefer they drop all sports to D2 in an effort to keep the nickname because it is ALL ABOUT THE FRINGE NCAA SPORT... HOCKEY. If they can get this on the ballot, and it gets repealed I truly believe the BSC drops UND and I'm not sure the Summit would even consider them. They are setting themselves up to be in athletic limbo and a large contingent of their obnoxious fan base just doesn't care.

Re: ND legislature and Sioux name

It would work out quite nicely if UND continues to be a FOOTBALL only Big Sky member, and accepts/grovels for a Summit league for all it's other sports. Other than hockey, it has a home for all it's current sports in the Summit. It would be a good addition for the Summit in most sports.

The nickname issue is handled, settled. Now it is about implementation.

The pot continues to be stirred.

Can anyone disagree with the guy? Everyone else was saying the same thing when USD decided to duck out and head to the Summit/MVFC. Honestly, I hope they stay and everyone in the Big Sky continues to be pissed off at them. I also hope they continue their nickname issue, which we all know is going to happen. Congrats to the people involved with UND athletics in ruining their athletic department. But hey, at least they have hockey...

Oh well you broke your pledge so might just as well do it again. Nidaros, have you ever been a politician.

I have played one on television. The pledge was broken some time back. If it does not matter to Newt Romney, it should not matter to anyone else.

As the world turns so does the drive to preserve the Fighting Sioux Logo and nickname:

Re: ND legislature and Sioux name

I checked in on this thread again and came in on the wrong end (chronologically) and thought we were back at the beginning. <<shutter>>

Thank goodness they have it all figured out and aren't still messing around with this issue....wait...what?

Nevermind.

Re: ND legislature and Sioux name

TIME Magazine weighs in with a piece that leans to being friendly to the side wanting to retain the Sioux nickname/logo.

I've stated my two-cents' worth: I think they move on and work on getting a different name. But, I do think the NCAA's image is dimished by the controversy.
