    I do wonder, though, why a program like UNI is able to have a higher tier MBB program than NDSU. Seems like a fair comparison, but I’m definitely not an expert on this topic. Anyone have thoughts?

    In part because:
    There are almost 2 million people within 100 miles of Cedar Rapids and 18 million within 200 miles.
    They pay thier HC's, currently around $900,000-1,000,000 a year.

    Compared to NDSU:
    There are 670,000 people within 100 miles and 2 million people within 200 miles.
    Richman gets about $230,000 to 250,000 a year.

    Not much we can do about the population, but, when you can attract and keep a good HC and have that much population around, you're gong to do pretty good.

    EDIT: In case you are wondering where I got those numbers from. http://www.statsamerica.org/radius/big.aspx

    $$$ and the fact their alumni base puts their support behind basketball and not football.

    In college athletics you generally get what you pay for and UNI spends more than double what NDSU spends on men's basketball. UNI spends $3.6M on men's basketball and $4.3M on football. NDSU spends $1.7M on basketball and $6M on football. NDSU is a football school and UNI is a basketball school and where each spends their money reflects that.

    You can look up that kind of stuff for football/basketball at any public university here: https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/compare/search

    Thanks for the input. Seems like we need to put our money where our mouth is if we want to elevate.

    Bingo... but it's hard for a school of NDSU's size and stature to be a football school and a basketball school especially now with the economic purse strings tightening or about to be tightened for everybody.

    Could you retype this, only much louder, so Chapo can hear it.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.
