So If I am not mistaken didn't Central Michigan only get one tribe to support them and had a bunch of Chippewa tribes that did not support the use of the name, If I am not mistaken I thought I read that in the court brief. It seems that in this case we still end up with UND having the goal post pushed back on us.
I still think this settlement is a load of crap we have won nothing execpt time to face what is eventually going to happen, it will be the same result that we are facing today. There will be diolog there will be a bunch of offers and smoozing but the name will change. If anyone thinks otherwise I would love to have a friendly wager with them, I would be willing to bet anyone the result will be nothing but that result of a new nick name. I am woundering if this settlement UND was the best that UND was going to get. I can't believe our lawyers allowed the NCAA still to have/get the upper hand and look as if the NCAA was dictating the terms of this settlement, wow, they pulled back their statement that UND was not hostile and abusive, in the end that a$$ brand still got what he wanted.
By the way; the NCAA is the defendant are they not? It's like punishing the victim in my opinion. I think what what Ira Murphy has said is good and I would like to see UND take this mind set:
I like this approach and I hope we go that route. Here is a thought once the anti-name change people will have their prize the changing of the Fighting Sioux name what is this vocal minority going to bitch about next? I mean will they be happy? Will this be enough, will have gotten what they want?
