You don't see Irish people complaining about Notre Dame, do you?

You don't see the Sioux complaining about UND, either. It's a bunch of jerks, with no direct interest, who got the NCAA to make a stupid rule.

Yeah, that makes sense. Shoulda figured that a bunch of anointed leftists would jump on this without anyone actually asking them to.

UND is well known for its hockey program. Their rink, Englestad Arena is quite a place, and the guy who financed it, Ralph Englestad, threatened to pull funding if they changed their name.

Money Talks. I like the guy for sticking to his guns.

I read an article about this controversy a couple of years ago...the American Indian activists who were complaining were not Sioux.
