  1. UND didn't have an "official nickname" during the regional, we were still in our cooling off period when it was awarded. Now that people are voting for a new name if no nickname is the "official" name the NCAA can do something about it. There is a difference between taking steps to retire the name for good (which happened from 2012-present time) and getting around the NCAA policy and keeping the Fighting Sioux as an unofficial nickname with no nickname and the NCAA knows this. Simple fix...pick a new name and move on.

    If anyone honestly thinks that the NCAA will have quietly tolerated the atmosphere inside Scheels in 2015 and then freak out and go medieval on UND if the same thing occurs in 2017, there's just no hope for you.

    Face it...if having the new nickname in place mattered that much to them, there ain't NO WAY IN HELL they would have awarded '17 to Fargo BEFORE the name was firmly attached.

  2. If UND has a new nickname and people chant "Sioux" and wear Siouw apparel, yes you are correct.

    If UND does not have new nickname, the NCAA can easily say that UND did not do a good enough job retiring the old nickname.  They can bring up complaints by other schools saying the same thing as well that not having a new name allows the old name to stay around.  

    If you think that the NCAA doesn't care about "lil old UND, that small school in North Dakota" than you are absolutely delusional.  Look at what happened 10 myears ago.  

    Listen to yourself.  A few months ago, "UND did not have a new nickname" and the NCAA did NOTHING about the Sioux fans and Sioux chants and Sioux flags and Sioux apparel.  At its own championship event.  And then it proceeded a few months later to give UND ANOTHER championship event, when it still did not have a new nickname.

    Delusion? I'll stick with facts, thank you.
