For the record, he did say the "...APR of the three schools," so I think one could reasonably say that he was comparing all three schools. Regardless, APR doesn't really have anything to do with the academic prowess of a school. It's basically just how many kids graduate and the grades that the kids get while at that school. Doesn't have anything to do with a schools academic rating. So it's more probable that he thought Montana was a better academic school than NDSU.

Maybe the writer of article screwed up the quote?
If we're gonna start a "scorecard" versus NDSU, let's just keep in mind we we start with a huge deficit.

you have to also respect back to back national champions. NDSU gets respect for being a very good, strong program. App.st got respect for those exact reasons as well. Same reason everyone did respect GSU.
At the end of the day MSU still has never earned respect of anyone in the FCS. being ranked highly and falling on you face early in the playoffs will not get it done. They are starting to build but until they prove themselves and make it to the chipper..they get no respect. they def. did not get it when they were underdogs playing at home vs a southern team in november.

I can't comment on the APR stuff, but you can sure compare the two football programs as 2 of the top 5 programs in FCS. NDSU has obvisouly feasted well off the the midwest talent and has obviously been successful.
The one thing that really set the two programs a part in my mind is the game day experience in Missoula that is impossible to create with an indoor stadium. Part of what makes football great is the outdoor elements. The snowy night in the game vs. Ap State was better because of the weather and it would not have been the same in Fargo.

I like the snow games almost more then the sun games, though the sun games are awesome. I would absolutely hate if MT had a dome stadium, but I can understand the need in the tundra of Fargo.

back to mckinley, we are surprised he went with montana, so when this APR confusion came up, it smelled fishy.

Are you sure that isn't how Fargo always smells during ice fishing season?
So are you suggesting fraud, deception, and chicanery? Perhaps a conspiracy!
