The population of North Dakota is 763,657. They have done extremely well as an FCS school and it fits their situation well. I think it would be a mistake for them to move up. Recruiting against G5 schools would be much harder because North Dakota is not a Mecca that people want to go to. There’s a reason that so few people want to live there.

Wasn’t there a poly sci prof named Oppenheimer that tried to oust sports back in the day?
I know that two law professors, Steven Huber and Robert Palmer, spearheaded the vote in the Faculty Senate to drop us to Division III back in 1993.

It’s a good thing the Faculty Senate carries no weight.

They are the only service academy not playing in a conference for football so it makes sense I would think.
