Tribe sues NCAA to let school use name

GRAND FORKS, N.D., Nov. 1 (UPI) -- The Spirit Lake tribe Tuesday sued the NCAA for blocking its attempt to let the University of North Dakota use the sports nickname Fighting Sioux.

Tribal attorney Reed Soderstrom said the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court challenges the NCAA's policy banning the use of Native American names and imagery by collegiate athletic teams.

I thought they had agreed to dress their mascot as Johnny Cash and change their name to the North Dakota Boy Named Sioux.

I agree. Still think the greatest name change ever would have been Arkansas State when forced to drop "Indians" some of their alumni wanted them to get a locomotive and change to the Arkansas State Engines. And they were serious but voted down.
