I guess some people forgot the baggage that nickname did bring especially after we lost tribal approval like recruiting (Dale Lennon said this), conference affiliattion (Big Sky Conference, if we brought the name back who says Fullerton wouldn't think about booting us out since they have Idaho back). The name is retired, you can still wear your Sioux gear whenever you want but a new name will be picked next year. If you don't support the teams after that because of the name, you aren't a fan of UND because no matter what nickname is picked the name North Dakota will NEVER change.
