NDSU(and UND to a lesser extent) really hurt SCSU. Much of NDSU's growth spurt came from marketing to MN kids; kids that would have otherwise gone to places like SCSU. Some MN schools have pushed back with better marketing campaigns of their own(which is part of the reason NDSU's growth has stalled); SCSU not so much.
So speaking of that, the number that is always kicked around that NDSU needs to hit in order to fill up campus is 15,000 students. Is that still the case with the new dorms online?
One side effect is with this many programs in our neck of the woods dropping football, that's a ton of athletes who may not have the opportunity to play college football. Will certainly bolster the quality of college football in the region and create more competition and quality walk on players for the rest of the NSIC, NSIC, and MVFC
