That's funny...

take out the 5 conferences (SEC, Big 12, B1G, ACC & Pac 12) and UND is #49 among all schools

[GeauxSioux]

It is even more impressive when you look at some of the schools that UND is ahead of....
Cal is at 56
Purdue at 62.
GA Tech is 63

With the Fighting Sioux nickname going away, the athletic department has started a new facebook page. The old page will eventually be going away, so be sure to go "like" the new page.

I'm betting Kolpack and Coach Bohl are on it.  There is no way UND could be ranked that high.

Sioux hockey and Bison football are about equal in popularity I thought.

It's nice, but I'd prefer wins on the field/court this fall

Social media has benefits and dangers for UND student-athletes

The benefits of social media

Amid investigations into sexual assaults on its Missoula, Mont., campus, the University of Montana football team grabbed headlines during the offseason when team captains decided to ban the program’s players from using Twitter, a popular social media website that can broadcast messages of 140 characters.
The decision begged the question: Is it worth it for universities to allow their college athletes to use Twitter?

UND thinks so. In fact, UND has fully embraced Twitter.
