I think this might be why Bohl left Fargo U:

The Great Influence-Off

Type in any two schools to see which comes out on top.

University of Wyoming is 8.65 times more influential than North Dakota State University

Must be a slow day in Bison sports, all they care to talk about is UND hockey. That's right they are over us, maybe I read their sh*t on UND thread wrong. :silly:

well when you only win 1 game in an NCAA Tournament instead of 2 you're bound to feel like you're inferior and try to make yourselves feel better by running down a team that went farther than you.

I guess you prefer Canada to the US...

Once they put on a UND jersey, it doesn't matter where student-athletes are from, they are part of the UND family. I guess you could be ignorant and turn away some of the best players in the world at the level they play at. Do you have issues with the non-US student-athletes that have played for FU?

I almost busted a gut laughing at this post on BV...Warning do not drink anything while you read it or you will be cleaning up your monitor.

I agree with the relevancy of FCS not being there, but its still an accomplishment "worth bragging about". NDSU has built its program into a household name across the country. I dont need to get into details about it because Im sure youre sick of hearing about gameday, FBS wins and championships. They're just on another level right now where no FCS team has ever been besides maybe App state?

Maybe an outhouse name. Common things to find in farmville. Asking a Bison fan about hockey would be like asking Oliver Wendell Douglas what farming is like.

So UND played SDSoM in 2012 and Bison fans laughed and ridiculed us for playing a non DI team, then NDSU played Ferris State last year, they made excuses to pump them up (FSU is the best DII team ever), now this year you have their conference mates South Dakota playing NAIA William Penn (no laughing on BV), and this thread on SDSU vs Oshkosh (http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?32982-SDSU-v-D3-Oshkosh-B-Gosh) no one is laughing and pointing at them. Shows how immature they get when something bad happens to UND but yet they can look past it when, it happens to them, or its their "rival" and another conference mate. :whistling:

I guess giving away that much in tuition waivers and grants really has its advantages.

 

This is true, but UND's bloated administration is quite inefficient as well.  Also going against UND is the higher cost of living in Grand Forks.

No argument, its a problem across higher ed.  Here are the actual numbers used with #1 overall University of Michigan added in for good measure:

 

Avg. Scholarships/Grants:

NDSU - $4,754

UND - $4,432

UM - $13,992

 

Avg. Starting Salary:

NDSU - $48,300

UND - $45,700

UM - $54,000

 

College Tuition:

NDSU - $7,353

UND - $7,254

UM - $12,994

 

Student Living Costs:

NDSU - $11,604

UND - $13,800

UM - $12,854

 

Student Retention Rate:

NDSU - 78%

UND - 75%

UM - 97%

 

Not sure where they got all of their numbers other than the starting salaries, which is collected by voluntary surveys.  Actual respondents used to come up with the salary data were 343 for NDSU and 266 for UND with no time frame given.  So real scientific and stuff.

 

Also interesting that UM is the best value, probably doesn't hurt that their average scholarships and grants somehow exceed college tuition.

Comparing 'su and UND to Michigan is as about as useful as bringing an accordion to a gunfight.  ;)

Who would ever dream of partnering with a two-year tech school for the benefit of both?  :silly:

 

This partnership gives students an additional opportunity to use credits they have earned to complete a degree, and establishes a policy and process to allow and encourage NDSU students to transfer their NDSU coursework to NDSCS for the specific purpose of obtaining an associate degree. The Reverse Transfer is especially helpful for students who planned to, but will not be able for some reason, to earn a bachelor’s degree.

So NDSU students want an NDSCS associates degree instead? ;)

No arguments, just threw them in there because they were "ranked" as the top value.  And that their average grants/scholarships exceeded their average tuition and I find that amusing..

I'm just having fun.  I work with a lot of Michigan alums, and some think their alma mater makes Harvard look like the University of Phoenix.
