Good for UND, hope they show those prick NCAA people how to be fair.

Shawn-O · June 15, 2006

Now the story will ratchet up to a national level, which I think bodes well for UND. We are seeing a story unfold that is on the front lines in the battle against political correctness. As others have stated, it isn't just about keeping the nickname and logo anymore.

Wooo Hoooo!! The State of North Dakota is going to show those dirty, rotten sap suckers just who actually is 'hostile or abusive'.

Bring it on!!!!!!!!

Good, it's about damn time to finish this issue, one way or another. :silly:

Finally, some people with spines. I'm glad the vote was unanimous. A statement was shown to the NC00. Hopefully, this will get some national attention in the press. Has Scott Hennen done anything to apprize his friend, Sean Hannity, of this? I think this is just the sort of thing Hannity or Bill O'Reilly would really like.

Please keep O'Reilly off our side.

I assume, by this being privately funded, that in the off chance that there are fiscal damages assigned against the NCAA the funds would go only to UND.

I say this because if it would be publicly funded the funds would have to go to the State's general fund.

NCAA caused this ----"Jeannote said. "This has really divided our campus community. We're getting calls from parents asking about 'the hostile environment' here." by acting without any evidence of 'hostile & abusive'.

The courts should remedy this by awarding $$$$ damages.

HockeyMom · June 15, 2006

I'm glad that the national media is picking this up.......and that the story says that the NCAA has changed their criteria. Looky there it also mentions that not every Native American is against the nickname and logo.

*walks the hockey goal back onto the street like Wayne and Garth*

GAME ON!!!!!!!

I am betting that the NC$$ will back down before it actually goes to c ourt, they have no leg to stand on. Sounds like some b ig money for UND to me.

Myles is an idiot and now may be history as he cost them big $.

From the USA Today: N.D. to sue NCAA over Fighting Sioux name

It's the same article every time, but I sure do love to see it everywhere

The encouraging thing is that they voted 8-0 in favor of going to court AFTER the attorney general talked to them for an hour and a half. He must have convinced them that they basically can't lose.
