I went to NDSU, home of the "Bison" for my undergrad degree. The Bison are huge rivals to the UND "Fighting Sioux". Many family members of mine and Shane attended UND. Apparently there is now concern about the name being derogatory to American Indians- I can see how it could be perceived- and the NCAA is making a ruling on whether or not to allow a game to be played at UND, "home of the fighting Sioux".
Now I have some interesting "insider knowledge" from a loved one...Ingelsted or Inglewood donated a lot of money to build an ice arena for the "fighting Sioux" and apparently he said he would tear it down if they changed their name. It always seems to come down to financials, really, doesn't it?
