Those who feared UND would ruin the mvfc have been proven correct, apparently. The conference used to be a meat grinder, but now it's the xdsu's and a bunch of teams that can't even beat UND.
UND's adoption of online learning has helped it weather the early stages of the storm. The recent focus on rebuilding the campus should help it weather the latter stages of the storm as on-campus students prioritize which university they'll go to.
Yes. UND took its lumps in 2017. There were a lot of people in GF at the time wondering why ndsu wasn't laying off staff and shutting down programs (music therapy, etc.) at the time.
