The NCAA threatened sanctions against the school, saying the nickname and logo were hostile and abusive and that UND was not endorsed by one of the state's two namesake tribes. The state Legislature put a moratorium on replacing the nickname until this year. The 15 names still in the running: North Dakota, Blaze, Cavalry, Explorers, Fighting Green, Fighting Hawks, Force, Green Hawks, Nodaks, North Stars, Pride, Roughriders, Spirit, Sundogs and Thunderhawks, WDAZ-TV reported (http://bit.ly/1GdnPJr).

Not to mention Hexaroon, Decaroon, and Macaroon.

Unfortunately the T. rex "Sue" was discovered in South Dakota, not North Dakota, or they could use the "Fighting Sue" name with a logo showing a tyrannosaur.

Not as good-looking as your Sue, but that image would be attacked as sexist or for reinforcing cisgenderism.
