why would NDSU fanbase expect any less than success?? and futhermore like I've said over and over again.. DAY 1 that NDSU is FBS, we absolutely crush it on Recruiting. NDSU can steal all the FCS regional transfers we want and compete with recruits easily with Wisc/Minn/Iowa/Iowa State
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Few if any academic programs are self-sustaining. That's why there are donors and support for universities, chairs, programs, scholarships.
You just pointed out NDSU's preferred investments are athletics over academics as you state NDSU "does not need to invest even less" in athletics while acknowledging academic shortfalls, red ink. You're prioritizing investing in athletics while acknowledging academics are suffering. Priorities I guess.

The ratio of institutional funds NDSU spends on athletics compared to academics is among the lowest in the country and is considerably lower than the institution you support. You seem either unable to grasp this concept (among other basic budget management concepts) or are willingly playing dumb. There is no point in continuing this conversation lol.
Have fun in FCS, maybe like D2 yall will be able to find a good niche after we leave.
