NDSU athletics is in the black and not cutting sports. In today's college athletic environment that is not the norm, especially if you have successful programs both in the classroom and on the field. NDSU meets all three of those criteria on the revenue, classroom and program success. Just take a look at UND. Matt Larson is doing a great job and it doesn't matter where he came from.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

The BB programs need to step it up. What has Matt done to address that? Maybe he has?

They are in the black? Not a chance. While in better position than many schools, NDSU athletics is far from self-sustaining. If and, NDSU doesn't have much room to cut sports, their cuts came from existing sports.
UND will be in about the same neighborhood now that the anchor of women's hockey was cut, though you'll never have a true comparison due to the lack of consistent accounting from one institution to the next.

Best DI Football Team in the Tri-State Area - AGAIN
If we wouldn't increase our budget, which is impractical to sustain success, we are probably 8-10 million away in revenue from being self sustaining.
Even if we generated or raised that much money, we would simply spend the profits like the Power 5 teams do. So we wouldn't really be in the black per se
Now the 8-10 million we get from the state is chump change in the grand scheme of things since athletics is the marketing arm of a university
