AJS

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.

I was talking about USD.

Did Jy Martin return?

Link?

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.

I know better, but the little things matter and is it time to have a genuine conversation about Romfo. When he’s in the game has anything positive happened this year? It’s been building week after week with me. Few plays a game, but they never work. Fun experiment, but we have a large enough sample size at this point.

Will this wave they are on, I’d like to see them start pumping up the NIL early. Get the $ flowing in!

Looks fine in the X app. How are you viewing it? Desktop?

Really excited for this one. Schmidt and this coaching staff have put this team in position to be in the conversation if they can get this one. Think they will. I've been really impressed with the defense; they've been so steady so far. Just solid. Offense will be just fine. HUGE game!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Another good article. UND sets new all-time enrollment record in Fall 2025

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).

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.

Wasn’t that last years #?

Moving forward, 12 game schedules are the norm, correct? So, we can still expect a game to be scheduled for Aug 29 of next year?

When the official 2025 numbers come out next week, I'll search for these specific totals. They tell an incredibly important story. The huge FR class of 2024 helped the On Campus Undergrad total increase by 9% over the previous year, with Total Full-Time increasing by 7%. This helps answer the question, is the huge increases On-line or On-Campus? What's exciting too is if the 2024 / 2025 FR classes are the new normal, with slight increases, the 2026 & 2027 FR classes will be replacing really small classes. Where could enrollment be two years from now when everything levels off? Year Campus Totals # Credits / FTE 2024 Full-Time (Undergrad) 7715 114213 Total Full-Time 9591 139303 Year Part Time # Credits / FTE 2024 Undergrad 3318 19805 Total Part-Time 5428 30535 Year Campus Totals # Credits / FTE 2023 Full-Time (Undergrad) 7075 104084 Total Full-Time 8919 128283 Year Part Time # Credits / FTE 2023 Undergrad 3141 18564 Total Part-Time 5253 29080
