North Dakota higher education officials are deeply worried about losing students and revenue in 2024 when neighboring Minnesota makes public college and university tuition free for thousands of residents.
This is the same state that once cancelled their adult education programs and told people to just use Minnesota’s program.
"Probably half of our football team comes from Minnesota, so that’s kind of a big deal to us,” College of Science President Rod Flanigan said.
Ahhh yes, the reason for the College of Science to exist… Sports. Honestly proud of my state for the changes they have been making, I hope the momentum keeps going.
I was all ready to respond about how even at an FCS school like NDSU, that football is a net profit sport. But based on the most recent info I could find their football team runs a slim net negative even though they’re a relative powerhouse in their division.
