Letter from 5 UND Athletics Hall of Fame inductees: NCAA sanctions would lead to death knell for UND athletics
If the referendum and amendment to force UND to retain the Fighting Sioux nickname ultimately passes, the former UND athletes write, the sanctions imposed by the NCAA, the loss of conference affiliation, scheduling difficulties, the endless road trips to faraway places, the lack of home games, absence of home playoff opportunities, the potential of not even getting to the playoffs, and the intense competition in recruiting that will take the top student athletes away from UND will signal the death knell for UND Athletics.
