  1. You are what you are by this point. Highlighting USD's last 3 games. 19-14 W at Indiana State, 17-14 W at UNI, 13-21 L vs Illinois State. Limited offensively, but pretty solid defensively. UND hasn't been perfect, but they've also been incredibly solid in every game. I like the Hawks by 17 in this one. Defense travels. I've been so impressed with the consistency.

    As long as we don't lose them to NDSU-CKS or another FCS program, I could swallow it. But if it comes down to UND or Miami (OH), I like our chances. Miami's FB program may be worse than their hockey program and that's saying something.

    The days of losing committed recruits to other FCS programs is over. I know it didn’t happen often but there’s zero worries of that. They won’t lose them to G6 programs either.

    Your definition of “barely beating” is different than mine.  I would say they’ve thoroughly dismantled Portland State and Valparaiso. 

    I was talking about USD.

    I’ll be really curious to see how we do against South Dakota on the road. I think the road woes will be officially behind us if we win that one. 

    Interested how they do against ISU-R next week. They are winning, but are barely beating really bad teams. Definitely a below average MVFC team.

    The Big Mountain Podcast is saying that 3 new schools within the United Athletic Conference footprint will be joining the conference soon.   He said all 3 schools are D1.  Does that mean we could lose Oral Roberts and Kansas City in the Summit?  We lose 2 teams that would be devastating.  St Thomas has one foot out the door and Denver is looking to get into a west coast conference.

  6. Two things can be true. (1) On Campus enrollment Fall of 2023 was bad (2) On campus revival starting with the FR class of 2024 has been incredible. 

    It's not out of the question that the FR class of 2026 if trends continue could start with 1,000 more students than next year's Senior class (2023 FR) started with. That's insane. Keep the momentum up!

  7. Really interested in an injury update. Was Stay the only one that returned last weekend that was also out against Valpo? Need some of those guys back. Walker was CB1 / Tai WR2.

    Definitely not loser out.  Think 7-5 in MVFC would still get a bid in the Watered down FCS.  Would need to get 2 of 3 vs SDSU, NDSU and S. Illinois.

    Essentially was a pretty critical word you skipped over. Loser has an uphill battle for a spot.

  9. Might seem dramatic, but this is essentially a “loser out” for a playoff bid. I’m excited to watch the defense get after it. Will be a great crowd on hand.
     

    Hawks cover the spread.

  10. UNI appears to be a below average MVFC team. Like that they have them on the road to start off conference play. Keep things on schedule for this new era. Would like to see a two-score win.

    It's a pot-shot at on-line learners, distance education, like the full-time school teacher at Sargent Central or Dakota Prairie or North Border working on a master's degree. 

    Former NDSU President Bresciani gave little support to NDSU online programs. Cook realizes the error but is playing from behind. 

    I'm more looking for clarification on the actual numbers used. I took distance only students as 100% on-line. Or would that # include hybrid? Or are there on-line classes where you have to be in-person a time or two a semester? If so, the 95% would make more sense. Trying to cut through the BS (I'll be doing with UND's #'s as well).

    It appears they are reporting 0.0% growth this fall.

    I realize the spin / cherry picking of numbers that come along with these articles, but can someone explain the quote below vs what does distance only students mean from the chart?

    From Forum article talking about NDSU.

    The university said it also leads all North Dakota colleges and universities in in-person enrollment, with 95% of students taking classes on campus.

    NDSU trends.

    • Enrollment - 0% change since 2023 (which has been discussed)
    • FTE's - Essentially 0% change since 2023
    • Full-Time Enrollment (both total / on-campus) - Both decreasing slightly each last 2 years
    • Distance Only Students: Increasing
    • Freshman Class Size: Increasing

     

    @Teeder11 do you know if NDSU is still matching the North Star Promise free tuition for MN students whose families make below 80k a year? I assume they are. One of the concerns I would have is although it would really help recruit FR class from Minnesota, would there be a lower retention rate? Would be interested how much money that's costing to fund a year matching that program. 

    Will dive into UND's trends once they post.
