Athletics

UND's athletic teams bear the name of the "Fighting Sioux" (which is not uncontroversial). The school colors are green and white. The school's original colors were green, white and pink after North Dakota's state flower, the prairie rose.

UND is in NCAA Division II in all sports except hockey; its men's and women's hockey teams compete in the Division I Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Its sports teams are often nationally competitive in both divisions.

The school's best-known athletic alumnus is NBA coaching great and former player Phil Jackson.

Campus media

The college newspaper is the Dakota Student. UND operates three public radio stations. KUND-FM rebroadcasts North Dakota Public Radio. KFJM-FM broadcasts other public radio programming and no longer has any locally-produced programs. The licence for KUND-AM has been put up for auction by the university as its transmitter blocks proposed expansion at the university.

UND also runs a local cable channel, which operates as an information billboard. Is also shows city council meetings, as well as a weekly student-produced program, Studio One.

On the UND campus Showtime is replaced on the cable lineup by "Residence Life Cinema." The University separately licences movies for showing on this channel.
