History repeats itself. This is the only move the ag college could make with UND catching up to them  … just like circa early 2000s when made escaped to Division I after UND finally got on top. 

UND will need to get real serious with their funding model and future moves now or this will be a repeat of 15 years ago …

hockey can’t save the day by itself here 

LOL LOL

Wrong. Awful move if you care about political transparency and UND being held in proper regard. There won’t be a rotation. NDSU won’t allow that … at least with UND. We’ve seen this before. It’s a repeat of 23 years ago.

 

good riddance … NDSU will and should fall on their face this time 

Jealousy has eaten you up.  
 

Take a pill dude.  It is simple economics. NDSU is in a position to do this and it appears they did. 
 

UND is not.  
 

But, go ahead and be the internet lawyer.  We need more of them. 😆

Good for NDSU.  In the FM area there is a need for FBS   They will fill it    In GF they can support an FCS program   They fill that  

 

It has little to do with their academics or student interest.  It is marketing.  
 

Let us all calm down. 

Take some deep breaths Folks and let's all calm down!!! Everything will work out the way its supposed to.

So weird

 

NDSU guys are acting like this makes them the better school.  UND guys are acting like it is all illegal and unfair.  

 

They are both nuts.  🤪😆

 

chill….

Lol if you have to call yourself the flagship you probably arent.

Yeah, that is a pretty ignorant statement. You should try a bit harder. But you graduated from NDSU I presume. I’d say do some research, but I doubt you were taught how. Pretty obvious which school provides professional degrees (JD, MD), aerospace science, etc. and which does not…both are fine institutions of higher education; but one is clearly head and shoulders above the other academically.

Ndsu is not in a financial position to do this unless the state bails them out again 

going to take some nfl money to pay for it

8 figure money to join mountain west and 5 million to ncaa and hopefully a few million to mvfc to leave 

stick that in your lawyer hat

Why do you think the Fargo boyz were changing funding model while the gf boyz wanted tax relief

Size of community doesn’t correlate to FCS or FBS. Dollars do, however; private donors is one thing, but state dollars / tax dollars is a different story …

Technically that’s inaccurate … but it looks better than actually reporting a declined figure.

Again, the political games going on in the background here are immense … Grand Forks and UND would be wise to closely monitor and take action as necessary. 

Eh our guys don’t really have a say after the scandal

Good for NDSU. About time they made the move.  
 

Now, a bigger stadium and build the program even more.  
 

UND belongs in FCS.  Be jealous of NDSU if you want, but both programs finally land where they need to be   You all know it is true  

 

I can see a rotation of the Dakota schools every year having one playing them.  One year UND. The next SDSU.  Then USD. 
 

Again   Good move for NDSU  

 

So what they pay us $500k to play there

Our guys have a say… so need to keep speaking up. There are plenty of scandals aplenty with “farmers” and NDSU, that’s not new news, but it will be interesting to see … 

UND’s history would predict they be quiet here and fall further behind …. but they need to speak up as needed and get to work and combat this strategically

If they won’t, then und will have several dark years until the next cycle … or … longer. Need action not inaction here

this is funny in a few ways that I don't think you have the intellect to comprehend. 

[gfhockey]

You guys don’t realize that Fargo is the new Minneapolis of North Dakota. The whole town controls the state.

Aware. But that is still legislation that is manipulative and adversely affects North Dakota’s flagship university while justifying ag college fiscal irresponsibility. Most disagree, unless they’re supporters of Fargo, ag college, and/or agriculture, of which ND has a strong support group.

Not a better school. The quality of education is basically identical other than marginal differences  and obviously each have programs that the other does not. 

But yes, people are nuts. Wish we were a single school, we'd be in the Big 12 now.
