August 1st the state law will read UND must and always be known as the Fighting Sioux and have the current logo. By telling the school you cannot have that nickname and logo they are telling UND you must break the law.

As I read the post Faison was talking about other institutions not just UM, UW and Iowa. Did I read that wrong??

So what would be the charge when the state files a lawsuit against the NCAA? Will it be antitrust or would be violation of state law??

I'm sorry but Faison and Kelley are 1 of the same. No proof of this thought but maybe Faison is just saying that because of his "personal" stance on the nickname thing. I mean really is there a list of other teams not going to play us due to the name? Is Illinois not playing us or Nebraska, or Wyoming or Iowa State? Please; Faison is as full of sh-t as Kelley.

I'm sure they will use that against UND, but there are other factors recruits look for like playing time, actually having a shot at the playoffs, etc.

Its suggesting we will have a hard to scheduling teams that decline us because of our name, well there are over 300 teams in D1 basketball over 100+ in the FBS and the FCS has 127 teams in 2013 with Charlotte and Mercer starting and the exit of UMASS.

Think about this when talking about playoffs. 1972 NFL season. Undefeated Miami Dolphins 15-0 AT the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thats right there was no home field advantage back then. It was on a rotation. So the #1 seeded Dolphins (my team) played the Steel Curtain in Pittsburgh. Moral of the story....."good teams always find a way to win".....INCLUDING ON THE ROAD!!! We may be like NDSU seeing 1 home game...2 at best but most of the time we would be on the road, as for basketball they are thinking of a neutral site to host the championship anyways. The Final Five will be in St. Paul and the Frozen Four will NEVER be at the Ralph. So will it affect sports...really??? NO!

What a bunch of BS?? Just because the Gophers, Badgers and Iowa have this policy the entire 300+ D1 teams will not schedule UND because of our nickname? What would be funny is if all the Indian nicknamed teams start scheduling us. UND @ Florida State, or UND vs Central Michigan or UND vs William and Mary. This writer is a total douche plain and simple.

So when is Kelley going to get the okay from the SBoHE to not retire the name before August 15th? Anyone want to guess when the Sioux or state will file the lawsuit on the NCAA?

I like it too!!

What you can't click on the link and read the story. I didn't think every link needed an outline.

Fits perfectly!!!!

I think he is saying what is going to happen August 1st when the state law takes over and bans Kelley from retiring the name.

Is the NCAA cancelling this whole thing because we have a new state law but Kelley and the SBoHE still want to go ahead with the retirement? Is that what is meant by we didn't resolve this nickname issue? If thats the case the Law goes into effect August 1st, and by law Kelley and the SBoHE cannot retire the name. So would they meet on August 1st??

Sounds like the state will be headed towards a lawsuit since I don't see the NCAA giving in.

Sounds like Douple.....the NCAA cancels the meeting because we didn't resolve the nickname dispute. Guess what NCAA....YOU STARTED THIS CRAP WITH YOUR DAMN POLICY!!!!

Since its closed and most likely in Indy they (the state) needs Indian reps from the Spirit Lake and Standing Rock there.

I didn't know he was connected in anyway. Just seemed odd how he didn't name any sources and/or links to his findings. I am read some of the other "Bison" posts on that thread and so I lumped his into that muck.

Its understandable that you post your question here, but I saw the post on Bisonville and sorry but unless there is a quote and link to the source I don't believe that "I heard" is credible and I am talking about you CAS i was referring to the other Bison fan that first post this on BVille

There is nothing on the internet about the cancelled meeting. I like how a Bisonville fan heard something. I take it as its worth....NOTHING!!!

I read that. He also made fun of Grand Forks losing the flood. Like we tried to lose. What an @sshole.

+1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All NDSU fans say they would since its just a name..until it actually becomes a reality. Would the fans of NDSU really cheer for their former nickname (Farmers) in the same spirit as they do now?
