Wonder if the NCAA has plans to ask Notre Dame to change their nickname anytime soon. It must be horribly offensive to the Irish.

I've been following this for awhile....

Ralph Engelstadt (sp?) is a humongous contributor to NoDak. As in, the hockey team plays in "Engelstadt Arena" and so forth.

The administration was gung ho to get the name changed. They did a 180 when Mr Engelstadt informed them he'd pull the plug on their donations if they did. Good for him.

If I remember correctly, the local Sioux Nation wholeheartedly supports the name. As well they should.

All institutions using injun names should immediately drop their old mascots and start using the names of European peoples and tribes (who don’t sue), like Trojans, Spartans, Saxons, White Skins, etc.

The exception would be the Seminoles who told the NAACP to pack sand.
