University of Jamestown to the Great Plains Athletic Conference

NAIA does the same thing. My daughter has been to Presentation College in Aberdeen a few times for indoor soccer events, and they have 304 student athletes with an enrollment of 445. Even Jamestown has 506 student athletes (only 42 less than NDSU) with an enrollment of 867 (all numbers from 2018 OPE)

At a lot of smaller schools, athletics are the only way to maintain or grow enrollment. Basically pay to play for big kids and a way to drive up enrollment.

I thought i heard that 90% of all Mayville State students are on athletic assistance?
