Re: NDSU, SDSU, UND & USD to the Gateway
SDSU moved up due to a number of factors that include:
1. The changing landscape in division 2.
2. After NDSU and UNC announced their intentions, it was clear that the remaining NCC schools would move to cut scholarships, thus making the NCC a shadow of it's former self.
3. SDSU was the only land-grant school in the nation to not be D-1.
4. We had an administration that did due diligence in researching the move to go to the next level. They have put a solid plan in place! Thank Dr. Oien and Dr.Miller!
5. The plan to achieve the budget needed to be succesful is feasible!
6. No additional money from the state or the students to make the move.
7. The move has benefits for the entire university, not just athletics.
8. Finally, we had a rival school to make the move and package ourselves with.
1. If I remember correctly, USD supported that move of the NCC to D1.
2. USD's athletic dept was NOT ready to move when NDSU, etc. made the move to D1.
3. Those scholarship reductions you predicted in the NCC didn't happen.
4. This move by USD is also part of a comprehensive university plan.
5. Not only has a lot of things changed in D2 since you moved on and we stayed, a lot of changes have occured on the USD campus.
6. Admittedly, our former NCC brethren that moved on showed us all it was possible, well except for UNC.
7. We know we aren't going to get any state money, that is pretty clear.
8. We also have a rival school to partner with in this move, UND. Now we need to bring back Sitting Bull!
