    Have to believe that Burgum will do his best to support NDSU. Remember the family connections. There's a reason there are two buildings on campus named for his family, and that doesn't count the building he donated. And that he holds the maternal side of his family in such high regard that he named his development business after them. (important because one of the buildings is named after his mom)

    Agreed. Hard to fathom that Doug Burgum will not do his best for NDSU while remaining fair to the other institutions as well.

    But didn't Burgum also hire Don Morton as his personal assistant over at Great Plains, and now Morton is on record as the lone voting dissenter against Bresciani's contract renewal on the Higher Ed Board? Not sure what's going on there, but it could be an interesting Higher Ed dynamic between Burgum and Morton in the future.

    And any existing relationship between DB and Burgum, as well as between Burgum and Morton, may have helped DB make the decision to apply for the OU position. DB maybe knew he wouldn't have Burgum's full support...just speculatin'.

    or, with the way this Messed up Gov of ND treats higher ed he decided to try go elsewhere where the rest of the world actually supports their universities

    This state struggles because we basically have a one party government. I say that as somebody that is more conservative politically but we don't have a conservative government in ND, we have a good old boys club.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    This is how I see it. NDSU doesn't need special favors. It will be a help if he wards off the attempts by legislators and other state employees and such that are trying to do damage to NDSU

    I'm looking forward to Burgum making good on his lean government philosophy by shutting down Valley City State, Mayville State, and whatever they call the school in Bottineau this week, and redirecting 40% of all state higher ed spending to NDSU.
