I don't understand that at all.

It was supposedly to let everything settle down and allow people a few years to get used to the idea of not being the Sioux anymore. We have quite a few friends who are UND alumni and they're still upset over the whole mascot issue, even two years later.
I don't really understand the reasoning, either, but I didn't make the rule.
Some of those same friends went to the Frozen Four and posted they were cheering for the UND N/As, as that was how they were listed in the program.
