NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
Summit teams went 1-4 against D1 competition last night.
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.Bob Lutz, The Wichita Eagle, August 30th, 2013
This is exactly the reason we need to strive to be in better conference. It would help out basketball level the most!
Agree. What would be the downside to dominating the Summit in basketball like Gonzaga does the WCC. Not that money guarantees on court success but money can improve coaching, recruiting and scheduling which all over time will likely improve the product on the court. I just don't understand what the plan has been for the athletic department. We keep throwing money at the football program that couldn't go anywhere but down in the FCS and refuse to invest in basketball which has a much higher upside than football for an athletic department the size of NDSU. It just baffles me what the strategy is.
Clarification: I'm not advocating that we gut the football program in favor of the basketball programs. Just that we hold spending steady in football and our focus with future funding drives is to specifically improve the basketball programs.
