Fetch Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I would have put their logo up there but they are so EVIL - ANAL & UNFAIR that I'm sure they would try to get me & the site in trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I bet FSU would jump right on this and give us permission. They are probably just waiting to see how they could get involved in this circus. Loaning us their emblem would be just their chance. Why? They won their fight, with the aid of their congressional delegation, in 2005. Why revisit that mess for UND's benefit?

Chewey Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I bet FSU would jump right on this and give us permission. They are probably just waiting to see how they could get involved in this circus. Loaning us their emblem would be just their chance. I'm sure they're salivating at the opportunity. The athletes should wear FSU T-shirts under their uniforms which would conveniently be displayed during an interview or two. No permission needed there. So, the NCAA would force forfeiture of this or that and all UND would have done woud be to display imagery that's been publicly approved by indians but the NCAA just doesn't like it because 2 members of one tribal council (and, yes it's that close) are preventing a vote on the matter and do not respect a sacred pipe ceremony circa 1969 - something that even Leonard Peltier deems sacred and binding? Peltier has ont commented on UND's situation but he's written that the sacred pipe is binding. How could the NCAA disrespect even his opinion? No whoring conducted by athletes or sponsored by the school? No recruiting violations? No paying of athletes? No tutors taking exams for athletes? Just the sort of thing that should put the asinine policy, unevenly and prejudicially applied as to UND, in the spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Just the sort of thing that should put the asinine policy, unevenly and prejudicially applied as to UND, in the spotlight. ... if the national media gave a damn about the policy or UND. They haven't since Aug 5, 2005, and don't expect it to change. The media is somewhere between useful idiots and willing accomplices in this as the carry many similiar political views to the NCAA folks that concocted this policy. Looking to national media for help on this will just leave you looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox News, NPR, and ESPN have shown interest and are still interviewing Frank Black Cloud, Frank Burgraff, John Chaske, Archie Fool Bear, etc. Saturday morning is the next one.

And they were showing an "interest" well before 2005 too, Remember the "Outside the Lines" episode with Dean Blais and Roger Thomas? As well as various writeups in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, etc. and the plaintive wails of people like Leigh Jenrette, Russell Means, Doreen Yellowbird, et al.? The NC$$ doesn't care about "bad publicity" as opposed to pushing its own agenda. If anybody expects "the media" to save the Sioux moniker for UND, they probably think Duke will win the bouncyball title this month too.

Saturday morning is kind of a black hole in television. Very few people are watching so they fill the space with more niche stories. Not many big stories come out of Saturday mornings.
