2018 Schedule: FBS Team

[CaBisonFan]

We are now a mobile society who can actually move efficiently between areas of the state. When the NDUS was first set-up, it made sense to have as many universities as it did due to travel issues.

IMO, there is no reason to have public 4-year universities in Minot, Dickinson, Mayville or Valley City. If I were king, I would convert them to community colleges/tech schools or shutter them if possible.

I'd offer general education courses as well as technical programs/AA degrees.

Too bad the whole system is tied into the state's constitution, which would require a referendum. Making these changes would almost be impossible.

It was set up this way for a reason.

Hope you said that slowly, because they can only read so fast.

Easy ladies...some of the hardest working people and the best people I know come from the west.

Dickinson State is the only public 4 year school in that area...the next closest one is 3 hours away in Minot. Many people from that the west do not wish to leave far from home, I have had many friends that made that choice and attended DSU and it was more affordable as well. It doesn't make sense to close DSU when the nearest public 4 year school in ND is 3 hrs away, in South Dakota 4 hrs away in Spearfish, and 4.5 hrs away to the west in Billings, MT. And frankly, all those choices are not much better IMO...

But I cannot make the same cases for Mayville St and Valley City St...and maybe a JUCO or two? People losing jobs would be tough though and the effect it would have on those communities.


Ok back to the thread topic....which...was what again? Oh yeah, scheduling future FBS teams...ummm I say we schedule Dickinson St for 2018, wait what? What happened?

It's actually the other way around. UND and NDSU simply had to have a teachers' program to duplicate Mayville, Vally, Minot, and Dickinson. Those programs should be shut down at NDSU & UND. The facilities are already in place at the smaller campuses...places that have proven to run very efficiently, saving students a lot of money.

Agreed. NDSU sucks balls when it comes to facilitating teacher education. I wanted my daughter to go to NDSU but they were zero help. Nothing but roadblocks and truly unhelpful people.

Mayville and Valley get it done.

The vast majority of FBS teams are still oblivious. The regional schools are likely done playing us.

I work with a lot of Wyoming alumni and they think they would curb stomp NDSU.

Alumni. Not administrators and coaching staff
