8th Circuit to hear 'Fighting Sioux' nickname suit next month
Posted: Tuesday, January 22, 2013
The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments next month in a "Fighting Sioux" lawsuit.
Members of the Spirit
Lake Dakotah Nation and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe who support the now-retired nickname sued the NCAA for not including them in discussions. Their lawsuit was dismissed last year.
The University of North Dakota entered into a settlement with the NCAA to get rid of the controversial nickname and the associated "Indian head" logo.
The hearing takes place February 14, The Grand Forks Herald reported.
