    Default Cost of Attendance

    New Bison Media article by Dom on adding Cost of Attendance to scholarships. We'll see how this falls out this summer.

    Time to build that new 35K seat stadium to generate more $$$ to pay for COA.

    Do it. It sets you apart from the others as a school that fully supports the athletes. Even if other teams don't.

    I increased my teammaker donation by $100 this year with the intent it might be needed for COA.

    This is such a no brainer I'm not even sure what there is to discuss..

    I've said this many times but there will be 2 possible outcomes.

    1) Negatively impacts recruiting. We lose out on the next Marcus Williams, John Crockett, or Billy Turner to other teams. Could be to a MAC school or even a PWO to the Gophers over a full ride.

    2) The playing field is equal or gives us an advantage.

    I'll take #2 100 times out of 100.

    I really like the idea of giving it to walk ons too since we can load up on Minnesota kids who will already get in state tuition due to reciprocity. Paying a stipend is almost like giving them a half scholarship which would be a huge deal when you have kids choosing between a D2 scholarship or a walk on at NDSU. Lots of talented Minnesota kids out there. It's almost like increasing your scholarships closer to the FBS level and we should all want that.

    How much will this end up costing NDSU?

    Probably about $750k a season. Not insignificant but not really a barrier to participation either.

    With men's wrestling moving to the Big 12, I'm sure they will have to do COA.
