I have all the history as I was part of it, more than most of you. I worked there in the 1990s and the cultivation of Ralph and others. Those you mentioned are having to walk along the line with the administration or they will be let go. I have read these boards and all the ridiculous accusations at other posters. I finally had to say something. UND will be fine, either way!

I have hundreds of family members who are voting NO. I donate to the University, and have family members who played football for UND. Unfortunately, for many of you, the vote will be close, but we will remain the Fighting Sioux folks. BTW... who cares if we play Minnesota in football in the next five years, they are rebuilding now. The power of the Fighting Sioux name will live on.

I no longer live in North Dakota, but I graduated from and worked for UND many, many years ago. It is just unbelievable to me that they have betrayed the wishes of thousands of alumni to come out against the Fighting Sioux name. It is wrong to vote Yes. No matter what, they should be with Spirit Lake and the Standing Rock members who wanted to honor their forefathers and elders and allow the University of North Dakota to remain the Fighting Sioux.
