So you can't make it to any of the games anyway?

Okay, then based on that logic I would say that that NDSU is better off being DI across the board, and UND is better at just having DI hockey. Maybe in the long run that is what's best for the state. As an alumnus of NDSU and a fan of all their sports, not just football, I am excited about the changes, welcome the new teams, and I'm willing to pay a little more for the privledge. As far as I know, and I'm not an expert, we are at, or ahead or the projections and goals we have set for ourselves. It says a lot about the type of people we have in North Dakota when we can have 2 institutions of this stature, with only 650,000 people.

I know this is a football forum, but I gotta voice my opinion. - So basically what your trying to say is that a broader DI schedule like NDSU and SDSU have would probably have less interest to Sioux fans than your current, more regional, DII schedule? 2005-2006 SDSU Men's Basketball Nov 13 @ Kentucky (Guardians Classic) Nov 14 Wofford/Lipscomb @ Lexigton, KY (Guardians Classic) Nov 18 @ Illinois Nov 24, Southeast Missouri State Nov 30, Cal-State Fullerton Dec 3, Tennesee State Dec 6, Wisconsin-Milwaukee Dec 8, @ Nebraska Dec 10, Denver Dec 12, UMKC Dec 20, Manhatten, @ Sioux Falls Dec 23,@ Minnesota Dec 28, Butler Jan 2, @ Montana State Jan 7 Utah Valley State Jan 14, @NDSU Jan 16, SW Minnesota State Jan 25, @ Idaho State Jan 28, @ Utah State Feb 2, @ Utah Valley State Feb 6, IPFW Feb 11, Texas-Pan American Feb 18, NDSU Feb 22, @IPFW Feb 25, @ Texas-Pan American Mar 3, @ San Diego State Mar 5, @ Cal State Fullerton Plus to be scheduled at Central Florida, and at Marquette. 2006-2006 NDSU Men's BB schedule (tentative) at Minnesota at Colorado State at Idaho State at Drake tourney (2 games) at Idaho at Montana State tourney (2 games) at Kansas State at Utah Valley State at Wisconsin at UW Green Bay at South Dakota State at Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne HOME: HAMLINE UNIVERSITY EASTERN MICHIGAN MAINE IDAHO STATE MANHATTAN UTAH VALLEY STATE SOUTH DAKOTA STATE IDAHO INDIANA PURDUE FORT WAYNE MAYVILLE STATE DENVER MISSOURI - KANSAS CITY I've seen the Sioux men's BB schedule, and given the 2 sides of the argument, I'd have to go with bincitysioux. Besides if you were a coach trying to sell a potential recruit on your school, who's schedule would you have a better chance with. There have been too many outstanding young athlete's who have had to leave the state to find a higher level of competion than what North Dakota schools could offer them. Just my opinion.
