The BIG fish, here, though is a guy named "Ralph Engelstadt" (sp?). He's a massive donor to their sports programs, the hockey arena is named for him, and so on.
He told the university a few years ago that the money spigot shuts off if they rename their team. That was more-or-less the end of the discussion.
Good for him, sez me.
If the Sioux loves it, why don’t they sue the NCAA?
