Not an option in the agreement with the NC$$.

I don't understand why that would be an issue...

The usual thinking is that without a nickname, Sioux sticks around a lot longer. For example, if there were a new nickname, this site probably wouldn't still be SiouxSports.com.

I think there is a clause in the agreement that says UND cannot remain without a nickname of some kind.

Before the whole state law thing and voting by the people...UND was to have a new nickname after 2010's retirement of the name, I believe it was December 2010 or August 2011, but the late retirement bled into that timeline and the NCAA accepted the cooling off period therefore 2015 UND will have a new nickname.

Solar Power...hmnnn...I like it. It suggests peace and protecting the eco-system of the world (solar) as well as the...uh oh...surely 'power' could potentially suggest the privilege of white men in the United States...bummer. Good idea though.
