Don't u think "The Sioux were Silenced " folks deserve a chance ? I don't think the ncaa would want to put us on sanctions & risk this going to court If some sizable donors who want to see a fair & complete court battle were to step up & make it happen - I think good lawyers could make a case that the ncaa was not fair to the Sioux or UND the last time this almost went to court. To many PC & paranoid people who were worried about D1 affiliation for UND in other sports at the time just wanted it over. & too much trust in the State to try & win a case against the ncaa was a mistake & the State Board of higher ed was a mess - but seriously who would of expected less (or more) ? As long as this is the case real Sioux Forever Fans will never be able to move on If this happened & we lost & Kelly would be long gone - then try again to get a knew nickname Right now this attempt was not done well & too many still feel cheated No nickname will win by a huge margin if it does & the ncaa leaves us alone we have already had 3 yrs to get used to it & could live with this But if we're forced to have a new nickname that sucks like I keep saying it could get real ugly & stay a real sore spot for a long time
