I ran across a link to this on a sports blog. Interesting how it specifically notes that this suit could delay UND getting into the Summit.

Exceprts:

BISMARCK, N.D. — A judge has temporarily blocked higher education officials from changing the University of North Dakota's Fighting Sioux nickname.

The president of North Dakota's Board of Higher Education, Richie Smith, said Tuesday that the order could delay the university's efforts to join the Summit League and re-establish its football rivalry with North Dakota State University.

...

The judge's ruling came after a lawsuit was filed by eight Spirit Lake Sioux tribal members who support the nickname.
