NCAA AND U. NORTH DAKOTA SETTLE INDIAN MASCOT LAWSUIT

The University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux and the NCAA announced on Friday that they have agreed to settle their mascot lawsuit. Under the terms of the deal, The Fighting Sioux will have three years to woo, court, or bribe a Sioux tribe into agreeing to allow North Dakota to use the “Fighting Sioux” mascot. The University will be allowed to use the mascot during the 3 year period. If the University is unable to convince a Sioux tribe to agree, the mascot will have to be retired. The University of North Dakota has already spent close to a million dollars in legal fees bringing the lawsuit. Honor Indians Institute can only imagine what the University will offer a Sioux tribe for their blessing and permission to use the “Fighting Sioux” mascot.

    It’s good that something is finally being done. I wish the probation period was shorter than three years, though.
