With an impressive resume of collegiate and professional ex-perience, and a long tenure of

coaching baseball in a northern climate, Tod Brown hit the ground running when he was hired as North Dakota State’s head baseball coach in July 2007. Brown, who has a 31-58 record in his fi rst two seasons at NDSU, is execu� ng a comprehensive plan that will put the Bison baseball program on track for long-term success in Division I. Some of the early changes under Brown’s direc� on were immediately no� ceable, including equipment up-grades and a total redesign of the team’s uniforms, caps and travel gear to help establish NDSU’s iden� ty. Other improvements have happened behind the scenes, including scholarship increases and steady progress in the class-room. NDSU has achieved at least a 3.1 GPA the past two fall semesters, and has improved from 2.7 to almost 3.0 over the past two spring seasons. On the fi eld, North Dakota State’s winning percentage jumped 30 points last year and the Bison went from eighth to fi � h place in The Summit League. The 2009 team put up NDSU’s best off ensive numbers in fi ve Division I seasons in terms of ba� ng average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Brown, 38, previously was the pitch-ing coach and recrui� ng coordinator for eight seasons at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he was part of

two division � tles and one regular-sea-son championship in the Mid-American Conference. He coached two MAC Player of the Year award-winners and eight pro dra� picks. Seven players from Brown’s former teams have reached the major leagues, including shortstop J.J. Hardy and pitcher Jamie Vermilyea from Sabino High School, in Tucson, Ariz., ou� ielder Shelley Duncan and pitchers Josh Pearce and Ben Diggins at the University of Arizona, and pitcher Burke Badenhop and ou� ielder Nolan Reimold from Bowling Green. A� er two years as the pitching coach at Sabino High School in Tucson, Ariz., Brown began his collegiate coaching career in 1999 as a volunteer assistant for Arizona. He worked with pitchers and catchers and was the fi rst-base coach for the Wildcats, who qualifi ed for an NCAA regional.

Brown was head coach of the San Francisco Seals of the California Coastal Collegiate League in the summer of 1999, compiling a 43-29 record and making a fourth-place fi nish in the Na� onal Base-ball Congress World Series. A le� -handed pitcher, Brown played for College Baseball Hall of Fame coach Jerry Kindall at Arizona, where he was a member of the 1992 Pac-10 champion-ship team. In 1993, Brown won six games and had eight saves while se� ng Arizo-na’s single-season record with 35 appear-ances. He was named to the All-Midwest Regional team as the Wildcats fell one run shy of a College World Series appearance. Brown played professional baseball in 1994 for the Brainerd Bears in the North Central League before signing a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Indians. He was released in spring training a� er a career-ending injury.

David Pearson is in his third year as an assistant baseball coach at North Dakota State. He assists in all phases of the program and serves as the team’s hi� ng coach and recruit-ing coordinator. Pearson, 33, was hired in August 2007 a� er a one-year s� nt as bullpen coach for the Kitsap BlueJackets of the West Coast Collegiate League. He was an assistant baseball coach at Mayville State in 2005 and 2007. At NDSU, Pearson has helped recruit two All-Summit League performers and last year helped the Bison elevate their ba� ng average more than 40 points. He is credited with star� ng two American Legion baseball programs in his home state of North Dakota, including one year as head coach at Hankinson and two years as the head coach at Griggs County. He was an assistant coach at May-Port-CG High School and the University of North Dakota for one season each. Pearson was a two-� me all-conference infi elder in junior college at Minot State-Bo� neau and went on to play two seasons at Mayville State. He was a member of two Region 3 championship teams and played in the 2002 NAIA World Series. Pearson graduated from Mayville State in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in business educa� on. He and his wife, Keleigh, reside in Fargo.

Bison Aim For First Summit League Postseason Appearance With Young, But Experienced Squad With 16 freshmen and sophomores in the North Dakota State baseball program, it would be easy to label the Bison as inexperienced and a non-contender in The Summit League. But a closer look shows NDSU had four freshmen in the star� ng lineup most of last season, and the top four ERAs on the pitching staff belonged to freshmen. They may not be veterans, but they are big-game tested and coming off a 16-28 season in which the Bison placed fi � h in The Summit League at 10-14. “They’ve been through the ups and downs,” said third-year head coach Tod Brown. “It takes pressure off the new fi rst-year players that will be in and out of the lineup.” Six of NDSU’s top seven hi� ers are back, including Freshman All-American catcher Jus� n Kline, who fi nished seventh in all of Divi-sion I baseball with a .432 ba� ng average and made the All-Summit League second team. On the mound, NDSU has six of its top seven arms back, but the Bison will be without ace John Straka, who was an All-Summit League second team starter last year as a freshman. Seven other returning pitchers made starts last year, and NDSU has at least fi ve newcomers who will be in the mix for spots in the rota� on or out of the bullpen. “If our pitchers get into roles that they can handle and perform well, I think off ensive-ly and defensively we should be good enough to put up numbers.” North Dakota State is coming off its best off ensive output in fi ve years of Division I base-ball in terms of team ba� ng average (.296), slugging (.393) and on-base percentage (.373). Here’s a posi� on-by-posi� on look at the Bison, who are aiming to reach their fi rst Sum-mit League postseason tournament:

Pitchers North Dakota State will split innings be-tween eight poten� al star� ng pitchers during its season-opening road trip to Lamar. The goal from there is to se� le on a four-man weekend rota� on and iden� fy three top relief pitchers before Summit League play in April. “That’s why we play these early games is to give guys chances that deserve chances and let them pitch themselves into roles they can handle,” Brown said. Right-handed sophomore Zach Wentz will likely keep his spot as NDSU’s fourth weekend starter in addi� on to playing fi rst base. Wentz was 3-2 with a 5.03 ERA and made six starts for the Bison last year.

Senior right-hander McHale Maristuen had 21 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings in his fi rst year with the Bison a� er transferring in from Williston State. He made four starts in eight total appearances. Sophomore le� -hander Glenn Parker will ba� le for a star� ng spot a� er breaking into the weekend rota� on for his last four assignments last year. Parker was third on the team with a 4.59 ERA. Junior college transfer Mark Schroeder is also in conten� on for a spot in the weekend rota� on. The right-handed Schroeder was 8-0 with a 2.92 ERA at Des Moines Area Commu-nity College last year. Brown says the Bison are coun� ng on right-hander Kirk Dehler to make an impact in the star� ng lineup. Dehler missed the 2009 season with a bone chip in his shoulder. Another right-hander returning from injury could be a key addi� on to the Bison rota� on. Junior Colby Togne� went 0-3 in four early starts last year before si� ng out the rest of the year with a bone spur in his elbow. He was 7-5 with a 2.17 ERA at Miles Community College two years ago. Other contenders for star� ng assignments or extended middle relief are sidearm right-handers Alex Chaput and Mark Ries.

Chaput made three starts in 12 appear-ances and went 2-1 with a 4.55 ERA that was second best on the team. Ries was 3-5 with a 5.79 ERA in 13 appearances. He threw a com-plete-game fi ve-hit shutout at Oakland in his fi rst of six collegiate starts. Freshmen Simon Anderson, Mark Hermes and Kyle Kingsley are candidates for middle relief to get their feet wet straight out of high school. The Bison return 6-foot-7 righty Anthony Kliniske to the closer’s role out of the bullpen. Kliniske was 2-3 with a 5.93 ERA in 13 relief appearances and had 37 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings as a freshman last year. Junior college transfer Jason Ma� la from Miles Community College in Montana may also break in as a late reliever. Ma� la was 7-1 with a 1.23 ERA last year.

Catchers North Dakota State may have one of its best 1-2 catching tandems in recent history with the combina� on of Kline and junior col-lege transfer Tanner Adam. The le� -handed hi� ng Kline is the fi rst Bison player to hit over .400 at the Division I level and, defensively, threw out 33 percent of would-be base stealers.

Sophomores Jus� n Kline (le� ) and Zach Wentz were North Dakota State’s top two hi� ers last year. Kline’s .432 average was seventh in the na� on, and Wentz hit .349 with a 3-2 record in six starts on the mound.

“He gets into the fl ow of the game, blocks pitches, throws, and controls our pitching staff extremely well,” Brown said. Adam came to the Bison by way of Des Moines Area Community College, where he hit .335 over 96 games in two seasons. He will see playing � me early as Kline ba� les back from shoulder surgery. Sophomore Tyler Steen also returns behind the plate for NDSU a� er missing most of the 2009 season with a knee injury.

Infi elders North Dakota State’s .952 fi elding per-centage last year ranked fourth best in school history and the anchor was shortstop Max Casper, who started 42 of 44 games as a walk-on freshman. “He doesn’t look like a Division I short-stop,” Brown said, “but when you see him play for one game you say that’s the guy you want playing shortstop.” Casper hit .301 for the Bison in the No. 9 spot in the order but Brown says he handles the bat well enough to maybe move into the No. 2 spot. But his .960 fi elding percentage up the middle is most important. “He’s a wizard over there,” Brown said. “He made plays that nobody on our team can make except him.” NDSU will be coun� ng on another true freshman to make a similar impact on the right side of the infi eld. Wes Satzinger from Andover, Minn., is slated to be the star� ng second baseman and backup shortstop. He played second base alongside Casper in a 2009 summer league. Junior Preston Ghizoni returns as the backup second baseman and freshman Jack-son Seaman will be in the running to play the middle infi eld and pitch in relief. Wentz made 37 starts at fi rst base last year when he wasn’t pitching and fi nished as NDSU’s second leading hi� er with a .349 aver-age. He led the Bison in at-bats (169), hits (59), doubles (11), homers (3), RBIs (25) and total bases (81). “When you hit third, you have a bull’s-eye on your back that you’re the best hi� er,” Brown said. “He saw everybody’s best stuff at all � mes and he really performed well.”

Zach Heidmann, one of only three le� -handed bats in the NDSU lineup, will play fi rst base with Wentz on the mound. Heidmann hit .279 with 10 doubles and split � me as a corner ou� ielder and designated hi� er. Seniors Kenny Beese and Eric Nutzhorn return at third base. Beese hit .250 and Nut-zhorn hit .269 last year, and the duo combined to make 43 of 44 starts for the Bison. Nutzhorn also was the designated hi� er in eight games last year.

Junior college trans-fer Jay Hartman will chal-lenge for the star� ng job a� er transferring from Southeast Community College in Nebraska. Brown describes Hartman as an aggres-sive hi� er and steady defender who can help shore up the le� side of the infi eld. He hit .288 and played in 35 games at Southeast last year.

Ou� ielders North Dakota State will have two new start-ers in the ou� ield this year with the gradua� on of right fi elder Luke O� o, who was third on the team with a .327 ba� ng average, and the depar-ture of center fi elder Kyle Harrison, who led the team with eight stolen bases and 32 runs scored. Senior Michael Riewer will take over in center fi eld a� er fi nishing fourth on the team with a .310 ba� ng average in 22 games last year. Brown calls him the team’s best defensive ou� ielder. “With the size of our ballpark, we’ve got to have some guys that can cover some ground, and Michael really did a nice job cov-ering the gaps.” Senior Tim Jallen returns as the star� ng le� fi elder and leadoff hi� er for the Bison. Jal-len hit only .292 but was second on the team with a .440 on-base percentage including 23 hit-by-pitches. He ranked second in the na� on with 0.56 HBPs per game. “He’s a pa� ent hi� er, but he also can put the ball in play,” Brown said. “He was a jump-starter for our off ense last year.” Junior college transfer Nic Obey is the leading candidate to take over in right fi eld. Obey hit .310 with 15 homers and 52 RBIs in two seasons at Des Moines Area CC. Having a corps of mul� ple-posi� on players will give the Bison good depth in the ou� ield. Heidmann and catchers Kline and Steen can play the ou� ield depending on who is swinging the hot bat.

Schedule North Dakota State is scheduled to play its fi rst 26 games on the road beginning with a four-game series at Lamar, which is picked to

fi nish third in the Southland Conference, and Missouri State, which is picked second in the Missouri Valley Conference. NDSU will return to Florida during spring break for the second straight year to play in the RussMa� Central Florida Invita� onal against eight other northern Division I teams. The Bison open that trip against Bowling Green, the school where Brown was an assis-tant coach for eight seasons before coming to NDSU. The Bison will go to the Metrodome in Minneapolis for a two-game series with Minnesota and a four-game series with North Dakota before opening the Summit League schedule April 9-11 at Western Illinois. NDSU’s home opener is scheduled for April 13 againist Dakota Wesleyan before going to Centenary for four games, and the Bison have Mayville State scheduled for April 20 before a four-game set at IPFW. Brown says the Bison will be right where they want to be if they can get a split or be� er over the fi rst three road series. Then NDSU plays 16 straight at home before the regular season wraps up May 20-22 at league power Oral Roberts. The top four teams in the regular season advance to the Summit League tournament at ORU on May 27-29.

THE SUMMIT LEAGUE

Now in its 28th year as an NCAA Division I athle� cs conference, The Summit League con� nues its renaissance and ascent both on the play-ing fi eld and in the classroom. Originally formed in 1982 as the Associa� on of Mid-Con� nent Universi� es and later known as the Mid-Con� nent Conference, The Summit League is in its third year of a rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athle� c performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league’s new name, the crea� on of a new image and the addi� on of three member ins� tu� ons. The 10 Summit League member ins� tu� ons include Centenary College of Louisiana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State Univer-sity, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. In April 2009, the University of South Dakota accepted an invita� on to join the league with full membership during the 2011-12 academic year and will begin as an associate member for swimming and diving in 2009-10. The league has one other associate member, Eastern Illinois University, which competes in swimming and diving. Centenary College will leave the league a� er the 2010-11 season. These member ins� tu� ons pride themselves on providing quality athle� c, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: base-ball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, so� ball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives automa� c bids to the NCAA tournament in all applicable sports. Since its incep� on in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the na� onal stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the fi rst round of the NCAA men’s basket-

The Summit League

ball tournament on its way to a berth in the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the na� on’s a� en� on when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA fi rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, the Oral Roberts baseball pro-gram fi nished the 2004 campaign with a na� onal ranking and became the fi rst Summit League school to reach the NCAA Super Regionals in 2006. The league has produced four Olympic athletes, four NCAA champi-ons and several All-Americans in the sports of track and fi eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professionals and several dra� choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball fi rst round picks, a pair of NBA fi rst rounders and one WNBA selec� on. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-� me all-stars during their professional careers. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athle� cs.

North Dakota State University is a “place of impact” and an ins� tu� on with both success and momentum. With growth to more than 14,000

students and annual research expenditures topping $100 million, NDSU has enjoyed a remarkable period of achievement. Shortly a� er former president Joseph Chapman’s arrival on campus in 1999, he challenged each college and department to advance to the next level. The results have led to increased educa� onal programs, greater research opportuni� es and a growing, prosper-ing university. During this extraordinary de-cade, NDSU’s growth has meant an addi� onal $1 billion to the state’s economy. There also has been tremendous growth in facili� es in recent years, and two downtown Fargo buildings have joined the NDSU com-munity. The former Pioneer Mutual Building is now Richard H. Barry Hall with offi ces and classrooms for the College of Business and the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics. The former Lincoln Na� onal Life Building became Klai Hall and has been reno-vated into studio space for the Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.

As the Land Grant ideal man-dates prepara� on for society’s changes, NDSU is preparing students for and assis� ng business with the global marketplace. The state, na� on and world can expect more in the years to come. NDSU has used these fi ve themes in its transforma� on: “It’s About People,” “Students are Paramount,” “Programs,” “Leveraging Support” and “Stature.” Three qualita� ve prin-ciples are being added: “Inclusive,” “Respon-sive” and “Excellent.” Looking to the future, the university has outlined several goals, including: • NDSU will further raise the caliber of its research enterprise. • NDSU will be among the top 15 com-puter centers in the world, with compu� ng power approaching 100 terafl ops. A terafl op is a compu� ng speed equal to one trillion fl oat-ing-point opera� ons per second. • NDSU will con� nue to be one of the leading agricultural research programs in the world.

• NDSU will make advancements in the arts, humani� es, health sciences, material science and science, and engineering and mathema� cs educa� onal programs. • NDSU will become one of the top 100 universi� es in the number of Na� onal Merit Scholars enrolled.

NDSU: yesterday and today The state’s fi rst land-grant university was established as North Dakota Agricultural College on March 8, 1890, and organized for educa� onal work on Oct. 15, 1890. President Horace E. Stockbridge and a fi ve-member faculty welcomed the fi rst class of 30 students as they took a winter agricultural course. Old Main, the campus’ landmark building, was completed in 1892. Renamed in 1960 as North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science, the ins� tu� on educates students for a mul� -tude of career opportuni� es. The university is

NDSU now off ers 44 doctoral programs, 59 master’s programs, an educa� onal special-ist degree and eight cer� fi cate programs. Students work closely with NDSU’s chem-ists, engineers, architects, musicians, pharma-cists, writers and other respected faculty who frequently are on the leading edge of research in their chosen areas. As of fall 2008, the university had 740 members of its instruc� onal faculty, including 523 who have achieved the highest degrees in their fi elds. The NDSU’s primary academic campus includes 42 square blocks and 102 university buildings, 11 non-NDSU buildings, nine leased buildings and seven leased spaces, with build-ing, personal and outdoor property insured for a total value of $834 million. In all, NDSU is located on 18,746 acres of North Da-kota land, which includes the main Agricultural Ex-periment Sta� on at Fargo. There are 268 Agricultural Experiment Sta� on build-ings and storage facili� es at the main sta� on and eight research exten-sion centers across the state, and 18,488 acres dedicated to agricultural research. Dedicated to out-reach eff orts, the NDSU Extension Service conducts a rigorous educa-� on program in agriculture, human develop-ment, nutri� on and youth and community de-velopment through its county, area and state staff . During the fi scal year ending September 2008, the Extension Service’s ambi� ous 4-H Club ac� vi� es, day camp and a� er school pro-grams involved more than 27,170 face-to-face contacts with North Dakota young people. A total of 7,086 youth are ac� ve in organized 4-H Clubs. During the same period, the Extension Service had 536,614 face-to-face contacts with adult learners across the state. Members of NCAA Division I, the talented Bison athle� c teams have enjoyed a long tradi-� on of excellence. The student-athletes com-pete in fi rst-class facili� es—the Fargodome, Newman Outdoor Field, Ellig Sports Complex and Bison Sports Arena.

An energe� cstudent body The NDSU stu-dent body is a talented, dedicated and enthusias� c blend of interna� onal and ethnic backgrounds. During the fall of 2008, undergraduate and gradu-ate students came from all 53 North Dakota coun� es, 46 other states and the District of Columbia. The university currently has more than 960 interna� onal students from 81 countries. NDSU has bilateral student exchange agreements with ins� tu� ons in Australia, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

When he came to North Dakota State Univer-sity in the summer of 2001, Gene Taylor inherited a department surrounded by a whirlwind of ques� ons. In his fi rst year as the director of athle� cs at North Dakota State, Taylor was asked to spearhead a comprehensive study and evalua� on of the Bison athle� c department. He has guided the athle� cs program through the unpredictable waters of reclas-sifi ca� on to NCAA Division I from Division II. One of most important pieces of the transi� on was securing conference affi lia� ons for all 16 sports. The Bison are currently members of The Summit League, Missouri Valley Football Conference and

Western Wrestling Conference. Taylor also played an instrumental part of forming the Great West Football Conference in February 2004, an affi lia� on that gave the Bison football program an immediate home in Division I. He served as chair of the coaches commi� ee. Also on the reclassifi ca� on checklist: fundraising. Taylor spearheaded an increase in the Bison athle� cs budget, which has more than doubled from $5 million in his fi rst year to almost $12.5 million for the 2008-09 season. He was recognized for his success by the Na� onal Associa� on of Collegiate Directors of Athle� cs in June 2008. Taylor was one of 29 recipients of the As-troTurf AD of the Year award as the Football Championship Subdivision Central Region winner. A student assistant to the associate athle� c director in his undergraduate days at Arizona State University, Taylor came to NDSU a� er a 15-year s� nt at Navy (1986-2001) as an administra� ve assistant, assistant � cket manager, � cket manager, assistant athle� c director for � ckets and opera� ons, and associate athle� c director. Taylor is a 1980 business management graduate of Arizona State, and he received his master’s degree in sports administra� on in 1985 from St. Thomas University in Florida. He worked in the � cket offi ce at Southern Methodist University in 1985-86 directly before joining the Naval Academy and was in the private restaurant business before that for fi ve years. His tenure at Navy included serving as the commissioner of the fi ve-team Collegiate Sprint Football League that includes Army, Navy, Penn, Princeton and Cornell. Taylor and his wife, Cathy, are the parents of a daughter, Casey, and a son, Jared.

From the se� lers of the past to the farmers of the present, agriculture always has been and will con� nue to be the strength of North Dakota. The state is home to some of the richest soil in the world. North Dakota is a prime exporter of agricultural products, taking the trophy in produc� on of several crops. North Dakota ranks fi rst in the produc� on of fl axseed, canola, durum wheat, all dry edible beans, all dry edible peas, spring wheat, honey, len� ls, sun-fl owers, barley and oats. About 10 percent of North Dakota’s area, the band of rich soil 40 miles west of the Red River, is o� en called the “Breadbasket of the World.” Livestock produc� on is second only to wheat in North Da-kota’s agricultural economy. It is most important in western North Dakota where the land is less suited for grain crops. The main livestock are beef, dairy ca� le and hogs. The importance of ca� le ranching has been challenged in recent years by the development of North Dakota’s tremendous oil and coal reserves. Energy is the state’s third-largest industry. Since the late 1970s and the infamous Arab oil embargo, North Dakota has been in the forefront of the na� onal eff ort to provide more oil and gas from domes� c sources. North Dakota has one of the world’s largest deposits of lignite coal. Among coal-producing states, North Dakota ranks ninth and produces 3 percent of the na� on’s output.

Alternately fl ooded by vast prehistoric seas and scraped fl at by immense glaciers, this region eventually became

America’s bread basket and the center of high-tech, 21st-century agribusiness. Less than 10,000 years ago, the area that is now Fargo-Moorhead was 200 feet below the surface of Lake Agassiz, a huge inland sea formed at the edge of the ice age. Over centu-ries the waters receded, leaving 6 feet of rich, black soil that today makes the Red River Val-ley one of the world’s most fer� le farmlands, with Fargo and Moorhead at its center. The Red River of the North separates the two ci� es and serves as the border between North Dakota and Minnesota. The city of Fargo was named for one of the owners of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, William G. Fargo. The city of Moorhead was named a� er William G. Moorhead, an execu� ve of the Northern Pacifi c Railway. In fact, the Northern Pacifi c Railway had a profound impact on both the economy and popula� on of the area. Originally se� led by Scandina-vian and European immigrants, Fargo and Moorhead be-came boom towns with the arrival of the NP in 1871. Under the Homestead Act, set-tlers were given 160 acres in exchange for living on the land and farming part of it for at least fi ve years. Suddenly, Fargo-Moorhead became a mecca for hopeful refugees from the over-crowded East. The railroad brought a constant stream of se� lers seek-ing a new life on America’s newest fron� er. The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is o� en listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the Na� onal Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moor-head is the largest community between Minneapolis and Sea� le.

More than 175,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay coun� es. There seems to be no end in sight to the persistent prosperity and growth of the twin ci� es on the Red. The community has recieved many accolades. Fargo-Moorhead was named the least stressful com-munity in the na� on by Self magazine. Money magazine included Fargo in a list of the

Ci� es,” the Milken Ins� tute rated Fargo-Moorhead 20th in job cre-a� on and economic growth among small metro areas in the country. The sixth annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study ranked North Dakota best in the na� on in quality of hospital health care. Fargo-Moorhead made the “Cleanest U.S. Ci� es for Ozone Air Pollu� on” list, as reported by the American Lung Associa� on’s State of the Air Report in 2005. While agriculture is s� ll prominent in the local economy, Fargo-Moorhead has also become an important focal point for other

ARE YOU A REPRESENTATIVE OF NDSU’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

You are a representative of NDSU’s athletics interests, more commonly known as a “booster”, if you meet any of the following conditions: You have been or are a member of any organization that promotes NDSU’s athletics program (e.g., NDSU Foundation, Team Makers). You have made a financial contribution to the NDSU athletics department or its booster organization. You have ever assisted in the recruitment of prospects for NDSU. You have provided benefits (e.g. summer jobs or occasional family meals) to enrolled student-athletes. You have arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes, or assisted in providing any benefit to enrolled student-athletes or their families. You have ever, in any way, promoted the athletics program at NDSU.

NOTE: Please remember that once you become a booster, you retain that identity indefinitely.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE?

A prospective student-athlete, commonly known as a “prospect,” is any individual who has started classes for the 9th grade. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospects. Ultimately, a student remains a prospect until enrollment at a four-year collegiate institution. It is possible for a younger student-athlete to be a prospect so it is a good idea to treat all athletes as prospects until they enroll.

WHO CAN RECRUIT FOR NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY?

Only North Dakota State University coaches who successfully complete the annual NCAA Coaches Certificate Exam, which tests their knowledge of NCAA recruitment legislation, are permitted to be involved in the recruiting process. As a booster, you are specifically prohibited from: Making any recruiting contacts with prospects or their relatives. This includes telephone calls, letters, e-mails, and facsimiles, along with any face-to-face contact either on or off campus. Assisting NDSU coaches by picking up transcripts, films, or any other information pertaining to a

prospect’s ability from the prospect’s educational institution. Providing a benefit to high school, prep school or community college coaches.

NCAA RULES REGARDING THE INTERNET

The internet is considered similar to e-mail, telephone calls, or general correspondence. Therefore, it should not be used by boosters to contact prospects, their families, or their coaches. Participation in “chat rooms” with prospects is strictly prohibited.

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH PROSPECTS

You may not provide financial aid or benefit of any kind (e.g., clothing, special discounts, lodging, meals, transportation, tickets, loans of money) to prospects or their relatives. You may not contact a prospective student-athlete to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend NDSU. You may not provide transportation or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect or his/her relatives or friends to visit campus. You may not earmark funds nor pay for specific prospects to attend an NDSU summer camp. You may not employ or arrange for employment of a prospect before the completion of his/her senior year. After graduation, a booster may employ a prospect as long as compensation is for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with experience and the going rate. You may not provide anything to a prospect or the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH ENROLLED STUDENT-ATHLETES

You may not pay for or arrange for payment of room, board, or any type of transportation at any time for currently enrolled student-athletes, their relatives, or their friends. You may not provide student-athletes with any sort of extra benefit, which refers to any special arrangement provided a student-athlete or his/her relatives or friends with the benefit unavailable to the general student population.

You may not provide student-athletes with any special discounts, payment arrangements (e.g., cosigning a loan), credits on a purchase (e.g., airline ticket, clothing), or services (e.g., dry cleaning, transportation). You may not allow student-athletes to use your telephone or make free calls. You may not provide awards or gifts to student-athletes for any reason. This also prohibits honorariums for speaking engagements. All awards to student-athletes must meet all NCAA legislation and be approved by the Compliance Office. You may not entertain student-athletes or their families and friends. You may not even buy them a cup of coffee or a can of soda. The only exception to this is that you may, on an occasional basis, provide a student-athlete or team (not family members or friends) with a meal. The meal can be catered, but it must be in your home. You may not use the name or picture of a student-athlete to advertise a commercial product. You may not purchase complimentary admissions from a current student-athlete. You may not provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for speaking engagement.

NOTE: These rules apply throughout the student-athlete’s entire enrollment at NDSU.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Forward information about prospects to the appropriate NDSU coaching staff member. View a prospect’s athletics contest on your own initiative, provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her relatives, coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the academic or athletic abilities of the prospect. You are responsible for all incurred costs or fees at a contest. Speak to a prospect on the telephone ONLY if the prospect initiates the call. You are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but you may exhibit normal civility. Under such circumstances, you must refer questions about the athletics program to the athletics department staff. Employ a prospect or student-athlete, provided permission has been granted by the athletics department. The student-athlete will ask you to provide employment information to the athletics department prior to employment.

North Dakota State University’s athletics program is rich in tradition. Its storied history includes national, regional, and conference championships and champions. On top of these athletic achievements are numerous

academic championships earned by our student-athletes. As we strive to continue the championship tradition of Bison Athletics, we must always seek the highest of ethical conduct.
