GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota has formed a task force that will figure how the school goes about picking a new name and logo.
The Grand Forks-based university says the group will meet for the first time next week.
UND spokesman Peter Johnson says the group isn’t charged with picking a new name but it could make a recommendation to university President Robert Kelley later this year.
Johnson says the earliest the school could legally adopt a new nickname and logo is January 2015.
The university officially retired the nickname in June 2012.
Sixty-eight percent of North Dakotans at the polls voted to drop the nickname deemed “hostile and abusive” by the NCAA before it was retired.
