The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....
...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.
"The report analyzed the cost of the athletics program to be around $12 million to $14 million per year, but says it has had "no positive impact on our student enrollment, retention or recruitment."
The athletic program is about the only thing shared in common by all the university's colleges, students and alumni.
Elimination of all athletic programs would create significant pressure on fund raising activities by the university to attract universal alumni contributions to the school.
Without the celebration of school athletic achievements to focus alumni on supporting the overall University, fund raising would be limited primarily to each college urging its own alumni to make gifts, contributions and memorials.
Athletic programs may be a necessary expense to the overall fund raising activities of the school.
You wanta play football, any school will do; ... You wanta learn football, NDSU is for you!
EWU (and nearly every other school of "higher learning") should eliminate every field of study that has "studies" in it. Eliminate every admin position of diversity and inclusion. That is just a start.
They should go FBS. That’s where the big bucks are
