The University of North Dakota will file a lawsuit against the NCAA in a matter of days.
The NCAA placed UND on its list of hostile and abusive mascots. The school goes by the nickname "Fighting Sioux" and uses an Indian head as its logo.
Other schools have dropped their Indian symbols but UND will be the first to go to court on the issue.
