fightingsioux4life Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah...we don't want to be as lame as Central was!! That only lasted a couple of years (thank God). Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Just North Dakota better be a option Not an option in the agreement with the NC$$. Quote
Blackheart Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Not an option in the agreement with the NC$$. I don't understand why that would be an issue... Quote
jimdahl Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I don't understand why that would be an issue... I think there is a clause in the agreement that says UND cannot remain without a nickname of some kind. Quote

darell1976 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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.
