The North Star Promise is a disaster waiting to happen and the exact opposite of what should happen, but it will be great for the flagship Dakota schools. As an MSU-Mankato alumni we are screwed hard, the volume of students on the fence academically attending will skyrocket. It’s like a free test drive. We effectively accept everyone already, so this will further lower university profile for acceptance rate, average ACT, average GPA, and graduation rate. More great news for us is kids with parents making over the threshold will push their kids to go to other schools with better academic profiles. Side note, the UofM will not be effected because of the academic profile required to attend.

It seems like you’re saying that kids who grow up with less money are not as capable of succeeding in college as kids who’s parent(s) earn more than some arbitrary amount? Perhaps you’d like to clarify your meaning.

Nobody is going to hate you. You won't be a villain..You would be a business partner. I am not sure how many MW fans will trek all the way to Fargo to see a football game, though.

Macomb(at least spell it right) is already gone.
Cedar Falls(not Cedar Rapids) is generally considered a rival we want to bring with us, and Sagarin ranked higher than 6 MWC teams.
Vermillion is top 3 in all sports attendance and a travel partner. Not last place in MWC according to Sagarin.
Terre Haute is visited once every 2 years in a single sport for a cupcake win.
Grand Forks is top 3 in all sports attendance and a travel partner. Ahead of 4 MWC in Sagarin.
If we get an invite, I hope at least 1 of these come with.

Surprised you weren't beat up more for that.

And Brookings should be on that list ... or does their Taco John's still being open (all in FM closed) get them a pass.

What are you talking about?

Not at all, in fact the same would be true and likely worse if the income bracket increased. Kids on the fence academically with more parental income would be even more likely to take a free shot. I am biased as hell because the state of MN treats the MN State system as like trash. We (MN) have over 5m people with one public research institution. The MN State system should have had a rural flagship university 40 years ago, but anything that impacts the UofM is off limits. Said differently this isn't income and achievement its about having a second in-state public university with a good academic profile. If you want a good laugh go to the US News profile for MSU, Mankato. Not sure what is more compelling for the flagship MN State system university the profile pic of a used Prius or the tie for 75th best regional university in the Midwest.

why would you come we are SOLD OUT every game

whereas MWC stadiums NEED 2500-5000 NDSU fans to fill there's since they are almost always 50% empty

what did Chris Vaninni say on 1660am today. he was talking NDSU MWC expansion

That's a fib, Chapo.
NDSU went over 18500 at home only twice in 2022 (SDSUblue, UND).
