Ok, I see what some are saying. Look at Florida State Univesity and all the stuff they do with the Mascott/Logo. I mean they have a guy go out on a horse and throw a spear into the ground at the 50 yard line. I read somewhere while doing some research on the subject that Seminols didn't even ride horses. FSU also has the tomahawkchop and all of that stuff, you don't see stuff of that magnitude up here in Grand Forks. I don't know if we could have done the opening of the REA any more respectful. I think lawyers would argue first amendment all the way. Florida State Football is a big business. I doubt they are just going to ok, we will change the name. I don't think it is going to be that easy. Your probably opening up a string of law suits and litigation that would last for years.

Here is something that was on KCNN.COM/GUESTBOOK The UND name is going national because of SCSU. There is now a study by the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee that will go until Aug 2002 do determine if these mascots will change. The St. Cloud Times story said that the Committee will probably be visting Grand Forks within the next few months on this issue. This issue is going national, so it does not matter just what people in Grand Forks and North Dakota think. Espically since most of the national press has been negative on this issue to UND and Mr. Engelstad.

I mean if UND has to Change its name, they QU, SDSU, FSU, CMU are going to have to change it names and I can't see it because I think it would end up in the Supreme Court and it goes back to the First Amendment. I just cant stand these P.C. Nazis...
