Structurally UND is a close comparison with Oklahoma, Idaho and UMass.
It depends which ranking you are looking at.
UND ranked #1 by Niche.
USN has NDSU at #232 and UND at #242
College Raptor has University of Mary #1, UND #2 and NDSU #3.
Stacker has UND #1 and NDSU #2 in North Dakota.
Not tennis, but I saw this over on the CSNBBS board...https://www.wichita.edu/about/wsunews-releases/2026/05-may/golf_release_8.php

I think 5 years ago I would have felt the same way. Now, with NIL and the portal, we have a different game being played. The athletes come and go as they wish.

Chavez didn't make this decision in a vacuum. I am sure that the folks at Twamley were very involved, not just because they are dropping two programs, but they are dropping below 16 total.
