Chris Mussman, Travis Brewster and Kevin Gilbraith will be traveling to Fargo, Bismarck and Fargo to inform alumni and fans about ballot measure four and the Fighting Sioux nickname.
Tom Miller, Grand Forks Herald --- UND athletic director Brian Faison and five of his head coaches will hit the road this morning to attend press conferences in Fargo, Bismarck and Minot in hopes of spreading the word about the consequences of retaining the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
The trip comes one week before a statewide vote on Measure 4, which would allow the university to retire the nickname and logo.
“This is an opportunity for us to have our coaches available to answer questions about Measure 4 and how it affects their programs,” Faison said. “The most important thing is these individuals are the ones who have to deal with the consequences on a day-to-day basis. This is a good opportunity to communicate about the facts.”
Next Tuesday June 12th voters will go to the polls to decide four ballot measures as well as primary candidates for Senate, Congress and Governor.
