The recent comments by Tim O'Keefe, of the alumni association, are better late than never. I believe most of us want the nickname, but even if the state votes to keep it. It is all the unintended consequences, that I do not think UND can live with in D1 athletics. The state of ND cannot make anyone do anything, especially the NCAA as a private institution club(non profit). Its all sad, and the train is going down the track, I do not think we can stop it
