N orth Dakota State University’s base-ball team has played and practiced on campus at Newman Outdoor Field since 1997.

The Bison share the facility with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the indepen-dent Northern League. Completed in June 1996 at an original cost of $5.5 million, the stadium’s permanent seating capacity is 4,422 fans. Naming rights were awarded to Harold Newman, founder of Newman Outdoor Adver-tising, for $1.5 million in 1998. Dimensions are 318 feet to left field, 399 feet to left-center field, 408 to center field, 365 to right-center, and 314 down the right-field line. The surface is natural grass. Dressing rooms are located under the stadium behind each dugout, and there is an indoor batting cage. A two-tiered press box with radio and television booths provides ample working space high above home plate between 12 spectator suites.

A color mes-sage board is used to scroll player statistics and other information. The stadium has superior lighting for evening and late night games and a full-sized infield tarp for foul weather. Newman Outdoor Field has been the site of several playoff games, including the 2000 North Central Conference tournament, seven Northern League championship series, and the 2009 American Legion World Series. NDSU previously hosted games at Jack Williams Stadium, the Fargo American Legion facility, five minutes east of campus. NDSU also played on the artificial turf of former Bison football stadium Dacotah Field, and an on-campus diamond at 17th Avenue and Albrecht Boulevard that was lost to construction of the Fargodome after the 1990 baseball season.

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 53-88 record in his first three seasons at NDSU, is executing 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 direction were immediately noticeable, including equipment up-grades and a total redesign of the team’s uniforms, caps and travel gear to help establish NDSU’s identity. Other improvements have happened behind the scenes, including scholarship increases and steady progress in the class-room. NDSU has achieved at least a 3.0 GPA the past three fall semesters, and has improved from 2.7 to over 3.1 the past three spring seasons. On the field, North Dakota State’s winning percentage jumped 30 points in 2009 and the Bison won a Division I program-best 22 games in 2010. The 2009 team put up NDSU’s best offensive numbers in five Division I seasons in terms of batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Brown, 39, previously was the pitch-ing coach and recruiting coordinator for eight seasons at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he was part of two division titles and one regular-season championship in the Mid-American

Conference. He coached two MAC Player of the Year award-winners and eight pro draft 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., outfielder Shelley Duncan and pitchers Josh Pearce and Ben Diggins at the University of Arizona, and pitcher Burke Badenhop and outfielder Nolan Reimold from Bowling Green. After 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 first-base coach for the Wildcats, who qualified 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 finish in the National Base-ball Congress World Series. A left-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 setting 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 after a career-ending injury. Brown earned a bachelor’s degree in regional development from Arizona in 1994 and a post-baccalaureate in educa-tion from Chapman University in 1997. He and his wife, Janet, have a 10-year-old boy, Brooks, and a 7-year-old girl, Blake.

He was an assistant baseball coach at Mayville State in 2005 and 2007. At NDSU, Pearson has helped recruit three All-Summit League performers. The Bison elevated their batting average more than 40 points from 2008 to 2009 and have improved from an average of 4.53 runs per game his first year to 6.02 runs per game last year. He is credited with starting 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-time all-conference infielder in junior col-lege at Minot State-Bottineau and went on to play two seasons at Mayville State.

Zimmerman charted 170 tackles and seven sacks in 35 career games for the Bison. He had one interception return for a touchdown his senior year before missing the final game with another knee injury that sidelined him for the 2006 baseball season. Zimmerman, 27, has played minor league baseball with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the independent Northern League the past three seasons. A native of Windom, Minn., Zimmerman was a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American® and NCAA Post-graduate Scholarship winner.

Experienced Bison Baseball Team Sets Sights on Postseason After Turning in Best Division I Finish Experience and versatility will be key again for the North Dakota State baseball team in 2011 as the Bison look to continue building off their best season as a Division I program. North Dakota State returns seven starters and seven regular pitchers from last year’s team that went 22-30 and tied for sixth in The Summit League. “We have a lot more returning position players and pitchers who have gone through the long season, had the at-bats, and aren’t going to be surprised by the things that are thrown at them,” said fourth-year head coach Tod Brown. The 22 victories last year was the most for a Bison team in six years of Division I play and the 10th most wins overall in school history. But don’t expect the Bison to settle in. “Our number one goal is to get into the league tournament,” Brown said. “We’ve been within striking distance the last couple years but just have fell short.” The Bison will get a big challenge right away this year opening with a three-game set at Arizona and a four-game series at Lamar. Those are two of six NCAA tournament teams on the Bison schedule this year. “Our guys are really excited about playing some pretty big-time schools,” Brown said. “We’ll probably face as good of pitching as we’ll see all year in the first couple weekends.” Brown says the first 15 to 20 games of the year will be important to test the depth of his team and to keep healthy for the start of the Summit League schedule in April. Here’s a position-by-position look at the Bison, who are aiming for their first Summit League postseason tournament:

Pitchers North Dakota State returns seven pitchers who logged at least 20 innings last year, includ-ing seven of the top eight ERAs. There are only three left-handed arms on the staff, however. “Lefties are hard to find,” Brown said, “but at the end of the day I’d rather have the best pitcher out there whether he’s left-hand-ed or right-handed.” All-Summit League second team starting pitcher Zach Wentz will be the Sunday starter in the weekend rotation to allow him time at first base in Friday and Saturday games. Wentz, a junior right-hander from Bis-marck, N.D., was 5-1 and ranked third in The Summit League with a 3.32 ERA in six league starts. He led the league-only stats in com-plete games (4) and innings pitched per game (7.22) and was second in wins (5).

Wentz was 5-2 overall with a 4.21 ERA in 10 appearances. He was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America second team with a 4.0 GPA last spring. Also returning to the weekend rotation are right-handers Kyle Kingsley and Mark Hermes, who started nine games each as true freshmen last year. Kingsley was 4-6 with a 6.45 ERA and Hermes was 1-3 with a 4.10 ERA. Brown said 6-foot-5 sophomore righty Simon Anderson is in line for the one open weekend spot, but he has been slowed in pre-season workouts by an ankle injury. Anderson pitched 11 1/3 innings last year in seven relief appearances. Two middle relievers who may challenge for starting duties are right-handers Colby Tognetti and Bryant Larson. NDSU is also hopeful for the midseason return of John Straka, who missed the 2010 season with an arm injury. Tognetti was a three-game winner as a junior last year out of the bullpen. Larson is in his first year on the active roster after redshirt-ing in 2009 and sitting out with an elbow injury last season. Other middle relievers include right-hand-ers Kirk Dehler and Mark Schroeder, and left-handers Glenn Parker and freshman Parker Trewin from Anoka, Minn. Parker, Schroeder and Dehler combined for 32 innings of work.

Six-foot-7 righty Anthony Kliniske had a 3-1 record with three saves and a 4.44 ERA in 18 relief appearances as NDSU’s closer last year. Brown says the Bison are looking at junior Luke Anderson to join senior right-hander Ja-son Mattila in the bullpen as potential closers. Mattila went 3-1 with one save and a 6.52 ERA in 29 innings almost exclusively out of the bullpen last year. Anderson was 0-0 with a 3.42 ERA in 23 innings and made four midweek starts in 11 total appearances. Brown says he has the right stuff to move from starter to closer. “He throws an upper-80s to low-90s fast-ball, he’s mentally tough and very aggressive,” Brown said. “He’s handled the change very well. It comes down to doing it in games.”

Catchers North Dakota State’s pitching staff will be in the hands of a pair of upperclassmen behind the plate this year with the return of senior Tanner Adam and junior Tyler Steen. The right-handed hitting Adam hit .236 last year and was the starting catcher in 22 games. He was also in the lineup as the start-ing second baseman 15 times. The left-handed hitting Steen made six starts behind the plate and hit .289 in 42 games as an outfielder and DH.

Zach Wentz, an All-Summit League second team starting pitcher, led North Dakota State in nearly every offensive category last year. He was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America second team with a 4.0 GPA.

Brown says Adam and Steen will split time early in the season before likely settling on a regular catcher for Summit League play.

Infielders NDSU returns three of its four starting infielders from last year’s team which had a single-season school record .961 fielding per-centage. The Bison have flexibility at first base with the right-handed hitting Wentz and left-hand-ed hitting Zach Heidmann. Wentz led the Bison in nearly every offen-sive category including batting average (.389), runs (41), hits (75), doubles (17), homers (7) and RBIs (42). Heidmann made eight starts at first base when Wentz was on the mound and doubled as an outfielder and DH. He hit .244 with 16 RBIs in 41 games. Wes Satzinger returns at second base for another freshman year after being sidelined with a shoulder injury eight games into the 2010 season. He hit .276 after getting off to a hot 7-for-16 start. Brown says sophomore Kirk Kenneally out of Des Moines Area Community College was NDSU’s top hitter during fall camp and will likely see more playing time early at second base while Satzinger gets back to full speed. Junior Max Casper returns for his third year as the starting shortstop. Casper hit over .300 each of his first two years and has an impressive .950 fielding percentage at the infield’s busiest position. Senior Jay Hartman is the returning starter at third base. He made 39 starts there last year and hit .274 with nine extra-base hits and 22 RBIs in his first year with the Bison. Brown says incoming freshman John Skrbec from Grand Rapids, Minn., is in line to back up Casper or Hartman on the left side of the infield, but a knee injury last year may slow Skrbec’s transition to college ball.

Outfielders Chances of playing in the Bison outfield are good if your first name has an ‘N’ at the front of it. Brown’s opening day lineup likely will have Nick Colwell in left field, Nick Ander-son in center field and returner Nic Obey in right field. The power-hitting Obey returns after a productive junior year for NDSU in which he hit .268 with 18 extra-base hits. He was second on the team with six home runs and 31 RBIs. Obey put up those numbers despite miss-ing three weeks with a broken nose and eye socket – the result of being hit by a pitch at Western Illinois in early April. He will wear a mask the rest of his career, Brown said.

“He came back and showed no ill-effects of being scared of the ball or flinching,” Brown said. “He had a good, produc-tive fall for us.” Anderson, a junior out of Des Moines Area CC, gives the Bison another quality bat in the middle of the lineup. He hit .418 with 17 homers, 76 RBIs and 11 stolen bases last year at DMACC. Brown says Colwell, a junior from Iowa Central Community Col-lege, looks like a good No. 2 hitter with good bat control from the left side of the plate. He hit .387 with 17 doubles and 54 RBIs in 65 games last year. Left-handed hitting Kyle Kleinendorst, a teammate of Skrbec’s at Grand Rapids (Minn.) High School, and right-handed hitting Blake Tur-bak out of Watertown, S.D., will both play back-up roles in the outfield and at catcher. Tim Colwell, Nick’s younger brother from Shoreview, Minn., brings good speed to the outfield and offensive lineup. Preston Ghizoni, an infielder the past two seasons, will move to the outfield. Ghizoni made a team-high 13 pinch hitting appearanc-es and played in 24 games last year as a junior, including three starts at second base.

Schedule North Dakota State has a 56-game regular season schedule planned, which includes 22 home games in April and May and seven neu-tral site games in March. NDSU is scheduled to be on the road for its first 23 games in February and March. After opening at Arizona and Lamar, the Bison travel to Murray State for a four-game set and then have seven games in the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational. “Florida is something we want to do every year,” Brown said. “We’re playing similar competition and the other opportunity people don’t really think about is we get to be the home team four out of seven games, which will be a first for us.” The Bison will play seven games in eight days against seven different northern climate teams, including NCAA tournament partici-

pants Illinois State from the Missouri Valley and Bucknell from the Patriot League. “Playing a lot of games in a short amount of time, you find out where your depth is,” Brown said. “It gives some opportunities to some other guys to get into some games and show what they can do.” NDSU was scheduled to come back north for a two-game series against Minnesota, but that has been tabled due to the Metrodome roof collapse. A one-game makeup in mid-May is possible. Other non-conference games include Creighton on March 28 and the inaugural game on the new FieldTurf surface at Concordia Col-lege in Moorhead on March 31. The Bison are scheduled to play their home opener as part of a four-game series April 1-3 against North Dakota with games split between Grand Forks and Fargo. NDSU will play its first two Summit League series at Southern Utah and Oakland before coming home to face 13-time defending champion Oral Roberts and Centenary. The unbalanced Summit League schedule has NDSU home for four out of seven league series this year, including IPFW and Western Illinois on the final two weekends of play. The top four teams from the regular season advance to the Summit League tourna-ment May 26-28 in Sioux Falls, S.D.

North Dakota State University is a national research institution acknowl-edged as a leader among its peers. With a growing student enrollment

and annual research expenditures topping $110 million, NDSU has enjoyed a remarkable period of achievement. According to President Dean L. Bresciani, “NDSU commands a powerful niche. We are unique in how we successfully balance being a student focused, land-grant, research uni-versity. That makes us distinctive among our peers.” The momentum comes from all sectors of the energized, vibrant university. In fall 2010, more than 14,400 students chose to enroll in undergraduate and graduate programs, setting a record for the 11th year in a row. NDSU continues to excel in areas of innovative and technology-driven research. The National Science Foundation ranks NDSU 122nd in total research expenditures among 679 institutions across the country for fiscal 2008, with $115.5 million in research and development activities. Of the 554 research universities without a medical school, NDSU ranks 39th. For fiscal 2009, NDSU has reported

an estimated $114.2 million in research activities for the next survey. During the past decade, NDSU has seen approximately $150 million in major new construction, including such projects as the remodeling and expansion of the Memorial Union, expansion of the Wellness Center, Living-Learning Center East and West, Richard H. Barry Hall, Klai Hall and Niskanen Apart-ments. In addition, work continues on the $23 million greenhouse complex at the Agricultural Experiment Station main station, which will provide NDSU plant scientists with research facilities among the best in the country. The state’s original land-grant university, NDSU reaches out to North Dakota residents. For example, the NDSU Extension Service had 590,103 face-to-face contacts across the state during this past fiscal year, including 23,455 youth who participated in 4-H programs and activities. Bresciani, who was named NDSU’s 14th president on May 24 by the State Board of Higher Education, says a rare “window of op-

portunity” exists in North Dakota, and he has challenged the campus community to imagine how NDSU can help shape the state during the next century. “We all know that higher education is a powerful way to expand the economy of a state, diversify the tax base and create jobs,” Bresciani said during his 2010 State of the University Address. “While at the same time we honor our historic mission and focus on educating students, we also create the new knowledge that leads to new technologies that lead to new businesses that lead to new jobs.”

NDSU: yesterday and today The state’s first land-grant university was established as North Dakota Agricultural College on March 8, 1890, and organized for educational work on Oct. 15, 1890. President Horace E. Stockbridge and a five-member faculty welcomed the first 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 institution educates students for a multi-tude of career opportunities. The university is comprised of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; Col-lege of Business; College of Engineering and Architecture; College of Human Development and Education; College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences; College of Science and Mathematics; College of University Studies; and College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. NDSU now offers 46 doctoral programs, 66 master’s programs, an educational special-ist degree and nine certificate 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 2010, the university had a total of 900 ranked faculty and lecturers. The NDSU’s primary academic campus includes 42 square blocks and 101 university buildings, 12 non-NDSU buildings, eight leased buildings and 10 leased spaces, with build-ing, personal and outdoor property with a total value of $838 million. In all, NDSU is located on 18,746 acres of North Dakota land, which includes the main Agricultural Ex-periment Station at Fargo. There are 247 Agricultural Experiment Station build-ings and storage facilities at the main station and eight research Exten-sion centers across the state, and 18,488 acres dedicated to agricultural research. Dedicated to outreach efforts, the NDSU Extension Service conducts a rigorous educa-tion program in agriculture, human develop-ment, nutrition and youth and community development through its county, area and state staff. The NDSU Extension Service had 590,103 face-to-face contacts across the state during this past fiscal year, including 23,455 youth who participated in 4-H programs and activities. Members of NCAA Division I, the talented Bison athletic teams have enjoyed a long tradi-tion of excellence. The student-athletes com-pete in first-class facilities – the Fargodome, Newman Outdoor Field, Ellig Sports Complex and Bison Sports Arena.

An energeticstudent body The NDSU stu-dent body is a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic blend of international and ethnic backgrounds. During the fall of 2010, undergraduate and gradu-ate students came from 52 North Dakota counties and 42 states. The univer-sity currently has more than 1,300 international students from 89 countries. NDSU has bilateral student exchange agreements with institutions in Australia, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zea-land, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. There also are memorandums of understanding with other countries such as Belize, China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. NDSU students find it is easy to make

friends and get involved with campus life. They can participate in more than 200 student organizations to develop personal and social relationships, explore new ideas, learn about people from around the world and augment their course work. The groups focus on academ-ics, special interests, service, performing and visual arts, religion and recreation. There also are intercultural groups, honor societies, fraternities and sororities.

Fargo: a great place to live, work and study

The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is often listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest community between Minneapolis and Seattle. About 187,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay Counties. Accolades for the community come from a variety of sources. For instance, Fargo ranks ninth on the list of “Forbes Best Small Cities for Business,” and Fargo-Moorhead was named the most secure mid-sized city in the United States by Farmers Insurance. Children’s Health ranked Fargo-Moorhead as the third best place to raise children. The

list considered 30 different criteria, including crime and safety, education, economics, hous-ing, cultural attractions and health. A report from the American Lung Associa-tion names Fargo one of the cleanest cities in the country. In addition, Bicycling Magazine places Fargo among the nation’s 50 most bike-friendly metropolitan areas.

A campus committed to the future Advances have come and continue on many fronts across the university, and the people of NDSU are optimistically looking to the challenges and opportunities of the future. As President Bresciani stated in his State of the University Address, “The future of our state is at a point of awakening – and our imagination is the only limit to the future. We are the ones poised to make that future a reality.”

When he came to North Dakota State University in the summer of 2001, Gene Taylor inherited a department surrounded by a whirlwind of questions. In his first year as the director of athletics at North Dakota State, Taylor was asked to spearhead a comprehen-sive study and evaluation of the Bison athletic depart-ment. He has guided the athletics program through the unpredictable waters of reclassification to NCAA Division I from Division II. One of most important pieces of the transition was securing conference affiliations for all 16 sports. The Bison are currently members of The Summit League, Missouri Valley Football Conference and Western Wrestling Confer-ence.

Taylor also played an instrumental part of forming the Great West Football Confer-ence in February 2004, an affiliation that gave the Bison football program an immediate home in Division I. He served as chair of the coaches committee. Also on the reclassification checklist: fundraising. Taylor spearheaded an increase in the Bison athletics budget, which has nearly tripled from $5 million in his first year to over $14 million for the 2010-11 season. He was recognized for his success by the National Association of Collegiate Direc-tors of Athletics in June 2008. Taylor was one of 29 recipients of the AstroTurf AD of the Year award as the Football Championship Subdivision Central Region winner. A student assistant to the associate athletic director in his undergraduate days at Arizona State University, Taylor came to NDSU after a 15-year stint at Navy (1986-2001) as an administrative assistant, assistant ticket manager, ticket manager, assistant athletic director for tickets and operations, and associate athletic director. Taylor is a 1980 business management graduate of Arizona State, and he received his master’s degree in sports administration in 1985 from St. Thomas University in Florida. He worked in the ticket office at Southern Methodist University in 1985-86 directly before joining the Naval Academy and was in the private restaurant business before that for five years. His tenure at Navy included serving as the commissioner of the five-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.

Student-Athlete Support

Sports Medicine Student-athletes at North Dakota State receive outstanding care for athletic-related injuries. The athletic training staff has fully-equipped facilities at the Bison Sports Arena, Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, Fargo-dome and Newman Outdoor Field. Scott Woken, longtime director of sports medicine, heads a staff of 10 certified athletic trainers who attend all practices and competitions, home and away. Plus, several talented and skilled Fargo-Moorhead area medical specialists assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Bison student-athletes.

Media Coverage The media spotlight shines on North Dakota State’s athletic teams from the opening of fall camps into the summer months. With four network television stations, three sports talk radio hosts, and the state’s largest daily newspaper all headquartered in Fargo, the Bison are con-tinually a hot topic locally and in the region. Along with regular television news coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates, the Bison receive expanded regional and national cover-age of select regular-season games and championship events on ESPN, Fox Sports Net, CBS College Sports, and other regional carriers.

GoBison.com GoBison.com is the online home of North Dakota State University athletics. In 2004, NDSU partnered with NeuLion to launch the most interactive website in the athletic department’s history. Beyond regular news releases, schedules, rosters, game recaps and statistics, fans can visit GoBison.com to watch live in-game stats of most home events, video features with players and coaches, purchase tickets and buy photos. Plus, with the All Access subscription plan, broadband Internet users can log on to watch live and on-demand video of many home contests and special events, as well as coaches shows and news confer-ences.

The North Dakota State University athletic programs strive to provide personalized support for all student-athletes. The administrators, coaches and staff at NDSU have made a commitment to ensure that the needs of the student-athlete come first.

ACE: Academic Collegiate Enhancement Intercollegiate athletics, in cooperation with Orientation and Student Success, offers an academic enhancement program designed to assist all student-athletes. Tutors are on site and assist student-athletes by providing one-on-one or small group assistance. Each head coach has specific academic criteria for admission into the program. In cooperation with various services and units available for stu-dents at NDSU, the ACE program includes:• Academic orientations• Helping student-athletes improve study skills for academic success• Identifying university resources to assist student-athletes• Coordinating structured study and tutorial programs• Monitoring semester and yearly academic progress

Residence Life Living on campus is an important part of the college experience. It’s a way to make new friends and join a variety of educational, cultural, social and recreational activities. National studies show students living on campus are more likely to persist in their education and earn higher GPAs than their off-campus peers. The Department of Residence Life offers a variety of options for on-campus living, from traditional men’s and women’s halls to four-bed-room apartments. The goal is to provide NDSU students a clean, safe, comfortable and affordable environment where academic success is encouraged and supported. On-campus living offers the opportunity to become part of a learning community.

Strength and Conditioning North Dakota State takes a comprehensive approach to the physical development of the student-athlete. Strength training, speed development, plyometrics, agility and conditioning programs are based on the specific movements and physiological demands of each sport. Under the supervision of NDSU’s three full-time strength and conditioning coaches, Bison student-athletes follow year-round training programs that increase each student-athlete’s level of strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning and flexibility.

state’s legendary past. The glow of the breathtaking Northern Lights shines brightly on the paths taken by historical legends George Armstrong Custer, Theodore Roosevelt, Sitting Bull, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Sakakawea along with the state’s contemporary heroes, Lawrence Welk, Peggy Lee, Roger Maris, Phil Jackson, Virgil Hill, Rick Helling, Darin Erstad and Travis Hafner. From the settlers of the past to the farmers of the present, agriculture always has been and will continue 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 production of several crops. North Dakota ranks first in the production of flaxseed, canola, durum wheat, all dry edible beans, all dry edible peas, spring wheat, honey, lentils, sun-flowers, barley and oats. About 10 percent of North Dakota’s area, the band of rich soil 40 miles west of the Red River, is often called the “Breadbasket of the World.” Livestock production 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 cattle and hogs. The importance of cattle 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 national effort to provide more oil and gas from domestic 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 nation’s output.

Canoe the mighty Missouri River along Lewis and Clark’s trail as they did almost two centuries ago. Or catch record-breaking walleye on Lake Sakakawea. North Dakota’s invigorating winter days, plentiful snowfall and varied terrain have made it a winter playground. Activities such as snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, ice fishing, sledding and skating are favorite pastimes.

A lternately flooded by vast prehistoric seas and scraped flat 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 fertile farmlands, with Fargo and Moorhead at its center. The Red River of the North separates the two cities 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 after William G. Moorhead, an executive of the Northern Pacific Railway. In fact, the Northern Pacific Railway had a profound impact on both the economy and population of the area. Originally settled 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 five years. Suddenly, Fargo-Moorhead became a mecca for hopeful refugees from the over-crowded East. The railroad brought a constant stream of settlers seek-ing a new life on America’s newest frontier. The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is often listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moor-head is the largest community between Minneapolis and Seattle.

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

top-10 best U.S. cities in which to start a busi-ness or get a job. In its 2004 ranking of “Best Performing

Cities,” the Milken Institute rated Fargo-Moorhead 20th in job cre-ation 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 nation in quality of hospital health care. Fargo-Moorhead made the “Cleanest U.S. Cities for Ozone Air Pollution” list, as reported by the American Lung Association’s State of the Air Report in 2005. While agriculture is still 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:n You have been or are a member of any organization that promotes NDSU’s athletics program (e.g., NDSU Foundation, Team Makers).n You have made a financial contribution to the NDSU athletics department or its booster organization.n You have ever assisted in the recruitment of prospects for NDSU.n You have provided benefits (e.g. summer jobs or occasional family meals) to enrolled student-athletes.n You have arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes, or assisted in providing any benefit to enrolled student-athletes or their families.n 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:n 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.n Assisting NDSU coaches by picking up transcripts, films, or any other information pertaining to a

prospect’s ability from the prospect’s educational institution.n 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

n 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.n You may not contact a prospective student-athlete to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend NDSU.n You may not provide transportation or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect or his/her relatives or friends to visit campus.n You may not earmark funds nor pay for specific prospects to attend an NDSU summer camp.n 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.n 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

n 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.n 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.

n 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).n You may not allow student-athletes to use your telephone or make free calls.n 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.n 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.n You may not use the name or picture of a student-athlete to advertise a commercial product.n You may not purchase complimentary admissions from a current student-athlete.n 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?

n Forward information about prospects to the appropriate NDSU coaching staff member.n 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.n 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.n 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.

N orth 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. North Dakota State University is unconditionally committed to NCAA rules and regulations. As an NCAA member institution, we must be responsible for ensuring that everyone abides by those rules. There is no margin for unethical behavior.

With your assistance and cooperation, we believe we can continue to represent the university with integrity, the highest of ethical standards, and the belief in doing what is right. Whether you are an alum, donor, booster, or friend of Bison Athletics, the university is grateful for your support. Together we can accomplish the common goal of ensuring a positive experience for all student-athletes. NDSU is subject to penalties for all violations committed by any alum, donor, booster or friend. Please contact the NDSU Compliance Office at (701) 231-5696 if you need a specific NCAA rule interpretation.
