The University of North Dakota was among a group of 18 schools singled out for using allegedly disparaging nicknames, logos and mascots when the NCAA first announced in 2005 that they were encouraging member schools to ditch them.
But last month, the governor of North Dakota signed a bill that was written to order the school to use their logos in defiance of the NCAA- unless both the Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Sioux tribes both agree it's cool...
Standing Rock has always been against the nickname and show no sign of changing their mind on the matter...
If UND keeps the Sioux, the school will be barred from hosting NCAA postseason sporting events, and its teams will not be able to wear the nickname and logo on its uniforms in postseason contests. Other Big 10/11/12 schools that are nearby have already said that they won't even play UND if the Sioux stays around...
The HQ is still a fan of one of the coolest sweaters around...
