I know the committee won't be in charge of this, but to reiterate, please no new nickname. We are The University of North Dakota. "The U". Vicariously and unofficially, people can still call us the Sioux. Could merchandisers still produce the logo and sell it, even though it wouldn't be recognized by the NCAA? I don't know the legal ramifications of it. Who owns it officially? The university or the artist?
Bottom line: PLEASE, NO NEW NICKNAME.
Just my opinion.
