Like the song says. You have your plans and they don't include me.
You say Grand Sky's main purpose is for defense. OK A local man in the aerospace business called into local radio one day as I was listening. He said he got a phone call one day from one of our Washington representatives. Telling this local guy what plans they have for Grand Sky. Do I questions the state when it comes to the GF area. I do question there motives.. As David Flynn from UND has said I have not yet seen the proof that Grand Sky will be a big thing.

NDSU wants a piece of the UAV action
Fargo Puts on a large Drone Focus Conference
And now the new Drone company moving just outside Fargo in Casselton.
Fargo is going to do anything it takes to get a piece of the drone industry pie.
Is Grand Sky limited in its potential? Is the state looking out for GF? The state owes GF ten million dollars. We the tax payers property owners pay for the maintenance on state roads. Ya they care about GF.

UAV software companies are already in Fargo, so Fargo is already sharing in developing UAV technology. Elbot wants to be near private companies for their input. Any bit of business that would have gone to California anyway is a win for ND. The first UAV center for the military was in CA. Grand Sky's main purpose is for defense, that why the Pentagon allowed it. Other UAV companies have offices in Minot. Guess you want the jobs in Fargo and Minot shuttered?

The main reason that EMU's name is recognizable is FBS. They would have to drop the sport to get any savings, because at FCS would lose more money. Dropping FBS would mean getting thrown out of the MAC and losing out on conference payouts.
UND is strangely at the same sports make after cutting more than twice what was needed.
What are we doing wrong in America where we have become a country where there Is no money for things. When you see the cities in the Far East you can see the pride they have. There cities are stunning to look at.
No money for roads water pensions bridges sports.

You perhaps don't realize that being on the GFAFB, especially research and development and some operations and training, is often for classified people, per Pentagons order. Foreign firms often cant get an OK for their people or company, as they don't want Israeli or Russian or any foreign national on base. When I worked on a military installation that had strict security, anyone even interviewing needed to be accompanied everywhere as their was confidential material all over. As per normal, just making mountains out of molehills.
Should have Grand Sky been at the airport? Why place it at the Base if your limited with your potential? Is Grand Sky fenced off from the Base itself. I hear on the radio this industry has Hugh potential and Fargo is going to sit back and say GF this ones yours. And the people who control the state are from where?

Congratulations. I think your the first person to use any of my quotes twice.
Two months apart between those quotes is even more impressive.
Why didn't they want to fly out of Grand Sky?
North Dakota Sillicon Valley of Drones. Why were they flying out of Hillsboro? Are they going back to Hillsboro? I bet no.
Cass County Casselton home of the governors perfect spot to work with the Air guard in Fargo. This could big stuff for Cass County. What does the future hold for Grand Sky? There's no political power in GF so me think GF loses

Assuming she graduates this spring? Or red shirt and play in 2019-2020?
Hope your right back in 19. She is a tough player. My folks were born in Edmore so I have a soft spot for her. If she does leave good luck Fallyn.

I was doing some reading recently regarding online students in the North Dakota University System. Some folks like to spin online enrollments so I wanted to see for myself.
Most of the numbers below are from Table 6 of this:
http://www.ndus.edu/uploads/reports/131/2014-fall-enrollment-report.pdf
Total enrollment numbers came from Table 1.
First thing to see:
Yes, UND has many "online only/not on campus" students. I suspect many of those are teachers and nurses working on masters degrees. And UND has an *accredited* distance engineering program to achieve a bachelor's degree. Those are huge items for people in a remote state looking to advance professionally. Table 13 probably speaks a little bit to this. UND has 4,506 students age 25 and older. NDSU has 2,928 students that are 25 and older. Part of this can obviously be attributed to UND's law and med schools but not all of it by any means. On top of that, when you look at FTE's UND definitely has more part-time students (4,120 vs 2,830 in headcount) which would also speak to people working (slowly) toward a degree.
But now digging into Table 6:
UND:- 35.5% (5,289 out of 14,906) of total enrollment take at least one online class.
- 14.2% (2,116 out of 14,906) of the total enrollment is considered on campus but takes at least one online class. Translated, 18.0% (2,116 out of 11,733) "on-campus" students take at least some form of online classes.
- 64.5% (9,617 out of 14,906) are truly "campus only students"
NDSU:
- 40.2% (5,928 out of 14,747) of total enrollment take at least one online class.
- 33.2% (4,889 out of 14,474) of the total enrollment is considered on campus but takes at least one online class. Translated, 35.7% (4,889 out of 13,708) "on-campus" students take at least some form of online classes.
- 59.8% (8,819 out of 14,747) are truly "campus only students"
Contrary to the myth in some quarters, UND has a larger fraction of its students who are "campus only students" and thus a smaller fraction taking at least one online class.
The question now becomes how many online hours are those "on campus" students taking? You only need to show up on campus once to be considered having an "on campus" presence (NDSU 33.2, UND 14.2). Is it one lab that they have to show up for in person and the rest is online or is it just one online class and they are attending on campus classes the rest of the time?
The source really doesn't add clarity on that subject. Its a matter of how many online classes the rest of those categorized as "on-campus but takes at least one online class" are actually taking.
Even with what is there, the points still stand:
- True "campus only students" at UND is 64.5% and is 59.8% at NDSU.
- A larger fraction of NDSU students (40.2 vs 35.5) take at least one online class <-- that busts the myth about UND being "online students" as a prime source of the myth has a larger fraction
- NDSU's 5928 taking at least one online class is larger than UND's 5289
Nice breakdown. What are the numbers now in 2018.

UND has accounts with the Bank of North Dakota, but its money is separate from the rest of the state money. They aren't even on the same accounting system.
OK how do you think Minnesota colleges bank. How much business does the State Bank take from the private sector in ND?

Source, please.
When the Ralph Engelstad Arean in handed over the money made there will go straight to the State Bank.
I’ve also been asking about the State Mill and if it taxed like any other business.

I don't have the marketing budget for recruitment (good luck getting that), but I do have actual total enrollment numbers. I'm sure the breakdown on incoming freshman class is out there somewhere if someone really wants to get into the numbers. UND will obviously have a larger amount of students from outside the region due to aviation and online enrollment. 2011 was the furthest back NDSU has publicly available.
2011
UND had an enrollment of 14,697 with 6,041 (41.1%) from ND and 5,038 (34.3%) from MN
NDSU had an enrollment of 14,399 with 6,676 (46.4%) from ND and 5,886 (40.9%) from MN2017
UND had an enrollment of 14,416 with 4,904 (34.0%) from ND and 4,859 (33.7%) from MN
NDSU had an enrollment of 14,358 with 6,314 (44.0%) from ND and 6,419 (44.7%) from MNI’ve read posts from guys from SU saying what the Fargo first people want. They want buts in the seats people kids spending money in the FM area. You write UND has larger number of online students.How many online students at UND now. NDSU has it right. The more kids you bring to your community the more likely they are to stay. The state high ed board is trying to make UND an online college. It’s true

Welcome Wesley the last 2 O Line transfers were Colton Boas and Michael Coe and they turned out to be all conference type players. You and Rain Slater could be key additions for a quality O Line with some depth. Hope the guys already here have improved and have great years. And hope your all conference to.

Thank you Governor Burgum. Microsoft thanks you for your support.
Question about online University's. Are many private. Is there big mmoney to be made in this. If UND goes in that direction the state not the school would profit from that. Will there be less and less kids coming to GF to fuel our econommy. NDSU wants kids on cammpus in town spending $. 700 more freshman on campus at SU than UND this year. Like the commercial on TV says. You see it don't you.

To borrow $ from the Legacy Fund would both the house and senate have to vote to approve it first? Once approved a city would only have to deal with the State Bank not stand up in the house and justify your need for $. Pretty slick.
How many cities are going to add debt to their bottom line. Borrow $ hard times come and the local people have to raise property taxes to pay the state back. If you see a certain city borrowing a ton of $ from the Legacy Fund grab as much as you can. When nobody is paying it back what are they going to do foreclose on you.

NDSU didn’t even have enough money to finish the SHAC like they wanted to. Using leftover bleachers to cut costs, yeah that’s a step towards 25,000 FBS. Also don’t look at the city to spend money on a stadium we have to deal with rising property taxes, added specials, and a thing called a diversion.
How much money has Al Carlson brought home the last 5 years when everyone else has had to make cuts. I'd bet over 3 billion.
3 Billion maybe a stretch 1 billion to fight the Red is about right on.

Don't worry Darell they just opened up the Legacy Fund. Just in time to help with all the things you just mentioned. To the victor go the spoils. The top 2 politicians in the state are from Fargo. Enough said.

Far from an NDSU fan, but comparing them to the NAZI’s before WWI is rather rich and overboard, to say the least. None of their athletic teams except fb even win now.
Right now you can see the focus at NDSU is enrollmment growth, adding degrees, new buildings.
Sports will always be important at SU. Getting to 25000 FBS is the main goal for now.

Not a SU fan if you say so. Ccmparing Germany's buildup to NDSUs buildup is to the point and on the mark. Winning is what the Fargo SU wants and does. There down now in some sports but they will fix it. Pride
