The Fighting Sioux Legal Defense Goes Broke

November 12, 2007 RSS Feed Print

After the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux (sort of) lost the battle against the NCAA to retain its name, the school finds its legal defense coffers empty and still owes almost $3,000 in legal fees, the Dakota Student reports.

In the settlement, UND must gain approval from both the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe to use the Fighting Sioux nickname. If it doesn't, it has to remove all references to its former moniker from athletic teams and venues by August 2011.
