I voted "Regular donor and will not change for any nickname-related reason"; however, I reserve my right to target my donations as I see fit. No. Wait. That's what I've done all along. ;) 

I quit giving to the athletic department and shifted over to the music department. Yes I was in the athletic bands and the work Rob and Tammy do is amazing and they still deserve all the help they can get even if the Twamley fools screw this up even more.

 To clarify, I will give at the same amount which hopefully will continue to increase throughout my life. 

 However, if Roughriders is chosen, I may divert some general fund donations and designate them to the history department.    North Dakota history, specifically. 

I think I see what you did there...

My donation level will remain the same-ish pending my employment. The price of oil probably has as much or more to do with my donation level as the outcome of this vote.

Will do the same for my donations and also the apparel I buy.  Depending on the nickname I may buy a hoodie with just UND.  The only thing constant is I will buy unless I don't like the nickname/logo and they don't offer UND only gear.

Like to see similar survey on the purchase of new logo wear. Doesn't matter what it is I'm not buying it - not out of spite just can't see myself ever being anything but a Fighting Sioux. No matter what it is sales will never be what they were - just won't have the nationwide appeal that we had with Fighting Sioux and the logo.

I would guess that after a couple of years that 90% of what alum buy will be UND and University of North Dakota branded apparel.

Current and future students will be the market for the new name apparel.

This is where I am at as well.  I will not submit to the invasive rebranding that is on the way.  This is why I see Nodaks as the least of evils at this point, because it doesn't necessarily require a full-blown logo reboot.  The interlocked "ND" will do fine.

The key to new gear will be the logo. The key to the Fighting Sioux gear was the logo.   The fact that most Americans don't like the government interfering with our freedoms and arguably the best logo in all of Sports  had more to do with the fuss than being the Fighting Sioux.  Stopping donations to UND over the logo issue is rather short sighted and not the most mature. Diverting donations to the.Marching Band is  a great idea because of the importance of our band to our game experience. Stopping donations makes a statement to whom?  Kupchella? Gone.  Kelly?  Will be gone. The NCAA? Faison?  Soon gone.  They could care less. All you do is harm our athletic teams and our University. Just like the NCAA and the Tribal Councils and activists. You wish to be on their side?  Maybe think that through.
