Waiting for News on our Bison

I think he will be alright. These are current guys, not recruits.

It's just as easy to get a current player in hot water as it is a recruit. As long as they haven't graduated from NDSU, stay as far away as possible. For the love of the university, stay away.

I'm sure he won't do anything bad. Calm down people. Besides, players are educated on what is OK and what is not.

Why? It's not like he's a booster, just a jackass.

He's a booster even if he donated previously....That designation never ends.

All it takes is someone buying a current player or recruit a Coke or a hot dog to be a violation. Think about that for a second, folks.

Actually, that rule extends to a current player's family or friends as well. Think about that for a second or three.
