    he University of North Dakota took its fight over the school's nickname straight to NCAA President Mark Emmert on Friday.

    And still lost.

    After meeting for more than an hour, Emmert told a group of state legislators and school officials he would not compromise on a court-imposed settlement to change the school nickname from Fighting Sioux by Monday's deadline. The school now faces a ban from hosting NCAA tournaments and will not be allowed to use the nickname or logo at NCAA tourney games until it makes the change.

    State legislators will now do what they can to help the school comply.
