What makes this comparison irrelevant is that UND hockey is one of the, if not the top program in all of college hockey. Same with NDSU in FCS. Because of that established excellence both teams have fantastic depth. UND football is just at the beginning of their D1 football journey and isnt there yet. That's the goal, though. 1 2 Quote

The total enrollment number is around 15000 with 20%+ being online or off campus so putting 20000 students on campus in the next 8 years looks kinda undoable to me Quote

It was also one position and if anyone thinks ohio state would have been in even close to that position with 13-15 of their starters out, I have a bridge I would like to sell you. Even your beloved Bison would never be able to keep winning every week with 13-15 of their starters out. I do think UND should be doing better managing the situation than they are, but to think they would keep winning under the circumstances is nuts. 1 Quote

If there was a magic fix-it, don't you think places like Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, and Indiana would have figured out how to make themselves football schools by now? NDSU didn't wind up in the position they are in now by accident. UND has been playing catch-up ever since the big "D1" announcement by Fargo U. I also recently asked a local high school recruit whom NDSU has been scoping out if he's considered the University of North Dakota at all. His response? "WHO?" Quote

Its coming like a freight train. Rocky Hager never thought it was going to happen either. As for those other schools, they have never been schools known for football, UND has been, and will be again soon. 1 Quote

Will you be the flagship when SU has double the enrollment? Take a good look a the people in power in ND. Neither UND or Grand Forks control there own destiny. Both places are not liked. 3 Quote

Meanwhile, NDSU replaces injured starters with all-stars - as freshmen. recruiting, Recruiting, RECRUITING! http://www.inforum.com/sports/4343921-freshman-cox-introduced-himself-starting-lineup-against-youngstown I mean, it doesn't sound all that different than Cam Hunt, a RFr who has been playing pretty damn well at middle linebacker. Slated to be a back-up and he has two picks in his first two games since healing up enough to get on the field, even though he's still not 100%. There's a huge difference between plugging and playing a handful of guys, which still gives the other starters the ability to cover up some of the deficiencies. But when you have over half of your starting roster in street clothes and 3rd stringers who were supposed to be getting a handful of snaps a game vs. playing every single down, you lose the ability to cover up some of the drop off that every single roster would have. 2 Quote

I'm sure that Michigan State feels real bad about going 8-3 in their last 11 games over "flagship" Michigan in football and is the better of the two schools in terms of men's basketball. #ButWe'reTheFlagshipSchool Quote
