I actually don't believe cutting the football program is that far fetched. Sioux ID is with Hockey, not football. With the current interim President, (former Gov), it is certainly possible he could see the state benefiting from Sioux = Hockey; Bison = Football. Isn't that what sort of happened this year.... 2 national championships... 1 football, 1 hockey. Cutting Sioux FB to reinforce Sioux hockey = 5 national hockey championships ....? North Dakota, besides being the worlds 3d leading nuclear power, ... is also the nation's leading FB & Hockey powers.
