By the standard you are quoting there, NDSU is not a "full DI team".
There are 13 DI FBS (DI-A) schools, 14 FCS (DI-AA) schools, and 6 DI (no football) schools playing hockey for 33 of the 58 programs.
(Disclaimer: I may be off by one or two with the likes of Robert Morris coming in to hockey.)
So which is it:
- NDSU is not a "full DI", or
- more than half of DI hockey is DI schools.
If it's so easy, get in the game.
