For the first time ever this year. http://bismarcktribune.com/sports/ndsu-reduction-in-funding-shouldn-t-adversely-affect-athletics/article_65fef440-1d9d-5474-9ce8-9ffa481206f9.html Quote NDSU Team Makers is more than helping. The booster group last month presented the athletic department with a record $4.3 million check to cover all scholarship costs — the first time it has been able to foot the entire scholarship bill, Larsen said. In prior years, the athletic department funded the difference. They going to do that every year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bigger question is why is the AD budget at NDSU about the same as UND's when UND has 2 very expensive sports in hockey? NDSU has always been about 3-4 million less in prior years.

It was mainly tongue in cheek, though it definitely presses a few buttons after hearing how NDSU's athletic department is in such a strong position, yet they directly rely on 10% of their budget coming from the State of ND. Again, I would be very interested to see the numbers Kolpack used because college athletics are a giant shell game and he apparently has something that would clarify it a little more. I will however continue to get a kick out of the huge sacrifices NDSU athletics is making by taking a 40% cut that in reality is a whopping 1.8% of their budget. On the flip side, I'm hoping UND is using the cuts as an excuse to make a few changes that could make drastic improvements in their athletic department. Time will tell if they will go with the status quo or make the tough and correct decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stated "They certainly weren't the best representative of what the MVFC offers up for competition". I showed how close SD games where with NDSU in the last 2 years. 2016 28 - 21 2015 21 - 24 2014 47 - 7 2013 42 - 0 2012 54 - 0 2011 didn't play Competition get n better and Bizon slipping. 18 hours ago, JohnboyND7 said: Two can play that game... Last year, ndsu beat ysu by 3, and then won a natty. This year, they beat ysu by 21 at home, in a year that ysu makes the title game and ndsu does not. What's the situation there then? Is ndsu trending up or down??? I don't disagree (no reasonable person would) that NDSU is not at the level they were, but your reasoning is pretty dumb. The bold part of your last sentence is exactly what I'm saying, "I don't disagree (no reasonable person would) that NDSU is not at the level they were" = slipping. With Youngstown, you used 2 years, with SD I compared 5 years in the post you replied to.

How many posts have there been here and on b'ville about the discrepancy in state funding to each university? Didn't Brescanni even complain about it to the state legislature a few years back? Is that money they wanted for academics or athletics? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news tonight stated ndsu was cutting 40% from their athletic budget and 10% from academics. Academics took hits "over 10%" but (one small, 5% of Athletics, budget line item in) Athletics took a 40% cut! That is world-class spin. And the local media bought it.
