Fetch Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 So if worse came to worse & say we changed our name to Fighting Dakota & the ncaa decided that was not ok - does that mean all North & South Dakota schools would be breaking the ncaa's stupid rules I only bring this up to show the absurdity of the ncaa's thinking & how they are insulting two States proud names Quote

Goon Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Fetch, buddy, you are trying to inject logic into a situation that left that station a long, long time ago. Good point you can't use logic when dealing with the NCAA... Quote
mikejm Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 ^Well, to be completely honest, there are some folks on the right side of this debate who have become rather illogical as well. Quote
Fetch Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 With a possible consitutional challenge - I'm serious - how far Fetched (no pun) is it that schools could not play us because of the name Sioux or we can be sanctioned or even have increased sanctions - but couldn't the ncaa or other schools say the same thing about playing the (any name) University of North Dakota or South Dakota or North Dakota State University, because of the Dakota in our name Dakota isn't much different than Lakota or Nakota -- it was the chosen name of some branches of Sioux So if any school has anything that says Dakota in it's name - it could be held to the same type of sanctions by the ncaa - plus countless other Native names that are part of the names of so many places I wish this could some how end up going all the way to the Supreme Court Maybe if it's not just UND who is getting picked on (enter other legal word) by PC bullies - things would change Quote

Just like the town Bemidji. Quote
