    I think ANYTHING NDSU does will be looked upon as shady on this venue. It is what it is.

    My opinion is based on talking to people at NDSU  and I am very comfortable with their plans.  I think they just shortchanged themselves in regards to funding and what they want to do in the future. They could have waited the five years  but have chosen not to.

    If they would have waited 3 more years  to ask for the increase you guys would be up in arms again because thats when the current agreement with donors ends on FCOA as it stands now. The timing was bad but you cant let that stand in the way as the timing in the future wouldnt have been any better. IMO there is never a good time to ask for more. You just do and take your lumps because not everyone will be in agreement regardless of the reasons.

    Is this how agreements work in your world?

    From Hammersmith on BV

    I picked the nearest DI schools to get a comparison. I took the student fee data from the annual USA Today report and divided it by the FTE enrollments of the universities(data from each schools' website). I think that's the most accurate way of figuring out how much the average student pays since most fees are based on credit hours.

    $252.40 - UND
    $248.09 - SDSU
    $208.20 - USD
    $169.67 - UNI
    $103.03 - UNO
    $88.57 - NDSU

     

    Interesting dont you think.

    Interesting that you continually miss, or ignore, the point.

    I think that people tend to make a lot of snap judgments when it comes to this issue. I know their are a lot of people who look at this as getting a scholarship and stipend to "play" a sport like in high school. I don't think that they realize the level of work that D1 and D2 athletes have to put in on top of school, because most athletes do have to make the grades or loose eligibility and the school isn't going to rig there grades to keep them in. I knew a girl who went to Minnesota State University, Mankato on a full ride volleyball scholarship, she played for three years and then quit her senior year because she found out that she could work near full time and actually pay for school and have more time to study. Of course it was a hard decision but it was the best choice for her at that point. When you take into accounts individual workouts, chalk talk, practices, most of these athletes are working a full time job and carrying a full course load.

    I don't think anyone here thinks the student athletes don't deserve it.  The issue is the SU athletic department dodging questions about the increase in fees so that they may "be more competitive with comparable universities...."

    They made the playoffs last year with that terrible receiving corp! Admit it you were wrong

    Winning doesn't mean you have great players at every position.  Just look at Carolina's stats from yesterday.  Rushing TDs and Olsen(TE) taking care of the receiving.

    UND Fighting Hawks vs. UNO Mavericks

    Wow we are starting to sound more like Mavs fans who care more about what other teams are doing than our own. But seriously I think a split is coming this weekend with one maybe even two OT games.

    I'm with you. Close loss or OT Friday, 2 goal win Saturday.

    Could NDSU ever compete with UND in Hockey?

    The question was could we be competitive. Hire a great coach and get good players. .  Of course it would take sometime---But---Why couldnt they?

     

    The rest of your post has nothing to do with the question.

     

    My guess is the moment SU gets a hockey team, they will close the REA, all coaches and players will transfer down south, and all the fans will swear their immediate allegiance to the Bison.

    I live in Fargo.........and I approve your message!

    Thanks.  The downside is Sonic was extremely shorthanded so it took a bit to get a cheeseburger.  Fair trade off all things considered.

    Don't be ridiculous. There is no doubt that that has benefitted, along with NDSU. I'm sure you really do understand that..even if you have trouble accepting it.

     

    The greatest benefit to the State was having all of you in Texas for a few days.  Fargo was so much more enjoyable.

    I don't think it's a hockey basher, just questioning the moral compass of a person(s).  To be 100% truthful.....I have a NDSU Club Hockey T-shirt that I wear sometimes.  (sounds pretty stupid, huh?)  I seriously have one, just for the irony of being a UND Football Fan.

    Wasn't hockey bashing at all.  At least now I know to spell everything out more clearly.

    I know, it is so pathetic!! The UND grads wearing SU stuff in Frisco......cutting the tags off their Bison gear on the drive down, that is a deal breaker for me, I don't associate with turncoats.  The Concordia folks make me sick, too, I try to avoid them at all costs. (The die hard Concordia grad Bison band wagoners)

    Sadly, they will all come racing back to be "fans" of hockey.

    Don't play dumb. The point is the fans of "successful" teams will get bad reputations.

    Are you going to read about UND fans punching holes in the cities or are you going to read about Alabama Huntsville?

    It's not an act.  Just thought the parallel was slightly extreme.

    What is your point? NDSU has idiots, plenty of them. So do other fan bases, not exactly a revelation.

    The difference is, you see NDSU fans acting out on the news because it sells papers and gets clicks because people know the NDSU name now.

    I was at highschool game a few years back where a guy was literally beaten by a group of fans from the other team. No news story. Why?

    I would definitely put NDSU's name recognition alongside the Patriots and the Yankees. hahahaha!
