We went on about how its a right wing attempt to move white people to western ND, whereas the program was a Ukraine specific program established by the Biden administration. What interesting about this after McFeely bash piece, Rob wrote an article on the program, with program specifics completely showing the errors of McFeely's blog. Happens everyday.

What are 10k followers worth on the internet? $100 a month? $200? That is what Mcfeely generates.

less than that. . I have 3 accounts with 25k followers 18k followers and get maybe $50-$100 month unless I get a big post interaction.

Exactly how I see it. If we don’t figure out the portal now, it only gets worse as an FBS team, because there are more “peers” and “superiors” (P5) poaching FBS teams left and right. Either have to keep the pipeline full of fresh talent to step up, or have to backfill from the portal. Maybe both.

The transfer portal giveth and taketh away. It all pretty much balances out in the long run.

and with NDSU FBS, they can easily poach Wisconsin/Iowa/Nebraska/Minnesota Transfer kids that are already FBS and wanting to play more at a FBS... as well as pick of the litter of minor leagues ...aka sdsu, usd, uni etc.

Port's last article about subsidies was actually complimentary to NDSU keeping their allocated funds down and specifically pointed out how that compared to UND. But I know that doesn't fit your narrative, so carry on.

*Of the 76 FCS schools in the recently released report

Rob's narrative was that athletics continue to drive up higher ed costs..... for that he uses data from an article that shows NDSU is the literally lowest public funded athletic program in the FCS. Who's the one trying to push a narrative? How pathetic was his reach??? He lists the indoor practice facility as an issue... then quickly throws out it was privately funded though.... then whines about it distracting from efforts to fund raise for academics. Twisted logic only a UND fan could fully appreciate.

Slap those two graphs for public funding on a common graph and let's really illustrate the difference in public funding support between the two North Dakota universities. Also lets adjust NDSU's public funding for inflation and lets see how flat that trend line looks then.

An unbiased take at that data would be that NDSU has kept it's state funding almost constant while managing to explode it's athletics funding through purely private funding and other revenues. UND..... not so much.

However, fatty hates college athletics.... and obviously the Indoor Football Practice Facility. He's obsessed with whining about it every chance he can insert it into a topic even when there is no reason to.
