NDSU gets absolutely nothing from the state of nd for coach salary, schollys. All boosters. If NDSU got treated fairly by the state govt of Nodak, they'd have a 40,000 stadium and basketball arena and mountain west invite. NDSU does a lot on its own.
What a steaming crock of shit.
Cry, cry, cry
NDSU's new 200 m track building is the first significant thing NDSU has built on its own.
The City of Fargo builds NDSU everything they want, until the Fargo voters wised up to it.
In the late 1980's, NDSU was inflating attendance figures for years (saying 18,000 instead of 10-12,000) in order to convince Fargo voters it needed a nearly 20,000 seat Dome built on NDSU property. NDSU pays nothing.
Newman Field (baseball) gets built on NDSU property with city and private money. NDSU pays nothing.
After that, NDSU tried to get the city of Fargo to build them a hockey arena near the Fargodome. Voters said no.
NDSU tried to get the city of Fargo to build them a basketball arena downtown. Voters said no.
NDSU tried to get the city of Fargo to build them a basketball arena attached to the Fargodome. Public said no.
NDSU has been fundraising for a BSA upgrade for how many decades?
