Nickel Trophy Update

[GCWaters]

Higher ed budget bill gives UND and NDSU the choice of playing for the trophy again or sending it to the Heritage Center in Bismarck:

"To promote national recognition and statewide enthusiasm, the legislative assembly encourages the University of North Dakota and the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science to play for the Nickel Trophy during the course of a National Collegiate Athletic Association football game. If the athletic director or president of either institution elects not to play for the Nickel Trophy, the Nickel Trophy must be permanently displayed in the Heritage Center."

They won't risk their precious.

Also Streyle put in the amendment: "North Dakota State Agriculture and Applied Science." Hmmm.

this is D2 & Sioux is dead.

Meh, melt it down and do something useful with it. Who cares about a past rivalry with a D2 when we are running the table vs P5 and winning D1 championships

Can't melt it down, it's wood.

I think it belongs in the Heritage Center, it's a piece of history. But I don't think we need the Legislature passing a law to make that happen. The administration at UND should just sack up and do the right thing.

I'm very surprised Blue Key has never tried to press UND admin on this. Would have been a great little student leadership project that they almost assuredly would have won.

When UND Blue Key disbanded, UND's "ownership share" was transferred to the student government.
