NCAA: No Sioux for You



No Sioux for You: The North Dakota Fighting Sioux must change their nickname after NCAA officials refused to reconsider its position on the school’s nickname. North Dakota appeared on a list of schools that use “hostile” or “abusive” nicknames, as judged by the NCAA. Florida State, Central Michigan and Utah have successfully appealed the decision after they demonstrated support from the relevant tribes. The three Sioux tribes in North Dakota, however, refused to support the Fighting Sioux nickname. [9/29/05]
