FSSD Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I thought that U of Minn has a policy against playing any team with a NA nickname - did this change? http://www.stubhub.com/minnesota-golden-gophers-basketball-tickets/ http://www.cmuchippewas.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought it was a game against a fellow rodent. The "Chipmunks". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hmmm, they will play Central Michigan with their indian nickname, but not UND. For the GF Herald and WDAZ people that look at this forum, please investigate! I would love to hear someone explain this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 As far as I know, the U of M policy (and the U of W for that matter) is that they won't play a team that is on NCAA sanctions for a "hostile & abusive" nickname. CMU is on the NCAA "cleared" list because they got the requisite permission to get off the H&A list. The Gophers or Badgers would schedule us in non-conference games as the Sioux if we were to have permission from both tribes. The U of M is just playing to the NCAA's hypocrisy.

Cratter Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Actually Wisoncon (and I believe Minnesota maybe too) had the policy 12 years before the NCAA came out with the hostile and abusive list. Then Wisconsin changed their policy to say it's ok to play you if you aren't on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
