    They already only spend their money on hockey. or as they call it now, Hawky. So I like when that team gets less money. Also the movie only seems to focus on the hockey team and arena, no mention of how it would screw other sports over. But I mean this all started when they were a D2 school anyways so I can see how they didn't care what other sports it affected as long as teh hockies fans got their precious sioux.

    I bet they would make a large sum of money if they let whoever donates 50,000 be alone in a room with Kelly with no supervision. Hes the scapegoat in all of this, and I cant say I feel bad for him.

    Who knows, maybe the Englestad Foundation will jump in with a huge donation.

    Today's Opinion piece from Tom Dennis...

    That means UND can afford the gesture of letting the new design refer in some subtle but distinctive way to the old. It wouldn't be a concession, nor would it be a move that would threaten to keep the controversy alive.
    It simply would be a "tip of the hat" to the previous name, which served UND so long and so well; and to that name's supporters, whom UND now very much wants to bring back into the "loyal fan" fold.

    Sure, go ahead, crowd source the design. That worked awesome with the nickname.

    No purple, it really was awesome for Bisonville. We already have several contenders in the Logo thread that could be submitted.

    There has got to be some middle ground between letting the Sioux crowd design the logo and paying more mega bucks to consulting firms.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    Sure there is...I'll charge 1/4 teh consulting firm's price and the hokey school can use my previously pirated* logo...

    *Since we already know they can't come up with anything original themselves.

    I say "BS, to you Tom!" A "subtle but distinctive way to the old" certainly does keep the controversy alive because the old is not really dead then. L-E-T I-T G-O!

    Use the school colors, use the same line weight and angular elements but for the love of God don't just remake the same logo into a bird or rip off the Blackhawks. OR better yet as cbline and Elsa said LET IT GO!
