I know this topic has been discussed over and over again, but I was at Wisconsin Lutheran, watching the summer league, and I saw that their nickname was the Warriors. Why can they keep that nickname?

Because they aren't in the NCAA.
They're NCAA D3 I thought?
When the NCAA started going after Indian nickname, they contacted WLC who pointed out they never had any connection to Indians. They also said it was "warriors for Christ" but the lack of historical connection was they key.

90% of quotes on the internet are wrong.
- Abraham Lincoln
Hendrix College in Arkansas is also the Warriors
"When March Madness spills into April.... that's the gravy!" - Homer Simpson
They're NCAA and had a big NCAA sign in their field house.
The reason MU dropped Warriors has no connection with the NCAA. They could reacquire the nickname tomorrow and run into no NCAA issues if they have the appropriate mascots and images.
