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

Completed in June 1996 at an original cost of $5.5 million, the stadium’s permanent seating capacity is 4,419 fans. Naming rights were awarded to Harold Newman, founder of Newman Outdoor Advertising, for $1.5 mil-lion 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.

An LED video board measuring 26 feet wide and 13 feet high in left field is accompa-nied by a digital scoreboard. The stadium has superior lighting for evening and late-night games and a full-sized infield tarp for foul weather. Newman Outdoor Field was the site of the 2000 North Central Conference tourna-ment and the 2009 American Legion Baseball World Series. It is also home to the annual Fargo Blues Fest. The Bison previously hosted games one mile east of campus at Jack Williams Stadium, the Fargo American Legion facility. 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.

The turnaround North Dakota State University has made on the baseball diamond has been nothing short of remarkable under the direction of Tod Brown. Hired for his first collegiate head coach-ing job in July 2007, Brown inherited an NDSU program that averaged 12 wins over its first three years of Division I baseball and turned it into a 40-win program five years later. It’s no surprise that NDSU is on the winning track. Armed with a 4,400-seat on-campus stadium and a new 65,000-square foot indoor training space, and supported by a metropolitan area of more than 200,000 people, the foundations are in place for suc-cess. “That was the attractive part for me and for every player that we recruit,” Brown says. “We practice and play in a top-notch facility, we can keep kids in class because we’re on campus and we have lights, and we have great support from campus leadership and the community.” Brown has had NDSU on the rise since his arrival. The Bison put together back-to-back 22-win seasons in 2010 and 2011, made each of the last two Summit League tourna-ments, and advanced to the league champi-onship game while setting a school record for victories with a 40-20 record last season. Fans took notice, helping NDSU set single-game attendance records twice in 2012, including a crowd of 1,781 against Minnesota. NDSU has been a consistent winner in the classroom, too. Bison baseball is averag-ing a 3.04 team GPA and has achieved a 3.0 in six of the last 10 semesters. Three players have combined for four CoSIDA Academic All-America® awards, including first-team picks Zach Wentz and Tim Colwell in 2012. “We hold our players accountable for their actions on and off the field, and for their performance in the classroom,” Brown says. “The goals for our team and our players are clear, and we are at our best when we have everybody pulling in the same direction.”

Tod BrownHead CoachSixth seasonAge: 41Born: June 27, 1971Hometown: Tucson, ArizonaWife: JanetChildren: One son, Brooks, and one daughter, BlakeEducation: Bachelor’s degree in regional development, University of Arizona, 1994;

post-baccalaureate in education, Chapman University, 1997.

Brown, who grew up in Tucson, Ariz., and was a left-handed pitcher for the Arizona Wildcats, has made a career out of coach-ing college ball in the northern tier of the country. He came to NDSU after eight seasons in Ohio as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator for Bowling Green State Univer-sity. Brown came to NDSU with a compre-hensive plan for everything from jerseys and equipment to travel accommodations and budgeting, and has put Bison baseball on a long-term track for success. One of his first moves was to schedule an annual spring trip to Florida where the Bison can escape winter weather. “Our goal is to go south every year and play a bunch of games on neutral fields with neutral umpires against teams who are facing some of the same challenges as us,” Brown says. “Everybody knows it is cold and there is snow in Fargo, North Dakota, but we are able to go south for a week to 10 days and play great competition.” That doesn’t mean the Bison haven’t been successful in road games, however. NDSU has swept road series at Oakland, Northern Colorado and Minnesota in the last two seasons, and garnered national attention with an 8-2 win over a No. 5-ranked Arizona team that won the 2012 College World Series. Pitching and defense are hallmarks for winning teams, and NDSU’s consistent improvement over the past three years found the Bison ranked in the top 50 in both categories in 2012. NDSU had a 3.38 team ERA, which was the program’s lowest ERA in 37 years. The team fielding percentage of .973 was a school record for the third straight year and led The Summit League. NDSU had a school-record seven all-conference players in 2012, including two first-team selections in outfielder Tim Colwell and starting pitcher John Straka. Four play-ers from that team went on to professional careers with first baseman Nick Colwell,

shortstop Max Casper, third baseman Zach Wentz and pitcher Luke Anderson each sign-ing contracts with independent leagues. Brown has recruited or helped develop eight players who have reached the major leagues, including shortstop J.J. Hardy and pitchers Jamie Vermilyea and Tim Wood from Sabino High School, in Tucson, Ariz., outfield-er 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 Fran-cisco 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 Baseball Congress World Series. He 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 Arizona’s single-season record with 35 appearances. 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. He earned a bachelor’s degree in regional development from Arizona in 1994 and a post-baccalaureate in education from Chapman University in 1997. He and his wife, Janet, have an 12-year-old son, Brooks, and a 9-year-old daughter, Blake.


David Pearson is in his sixth year as an assistant baseball coach at North Dakota State. He assists in all phases of the program and serves as the team’s hitting coach and recruit-ing coordinator. Pearson, 36, was hired in August 2007 after a one-year stint 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 nine All-Summit League performers, including a school-record seven all-league honorees in 2012 as the Bison finished in the top 100 nationally in batting average, runs, hits, doubles, triples (14th), sacrifice bunts and sacrifice flies. He is credited with starting two American Legion baseball pro-grams 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 Univer-sity of North Dakota for one season each. Pearson was a two-time all-conference infielder in junior college at Minot State-Bottineau 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 education. He and his wife, Keleigh, reside in Fargo with their son, Carter.

Zach Wentz, Volunteer Assistant

Four-year North Dakota State University starting pitcher and infielder Zach Wentz is in his first season as volunteer assistant for the Bison baseball program. Wentz hit .334 with 58 doubles, 20 home runs and 133 RBIs in 208 career games at NDSU. On the mound, he had a 13-16 record with a 5.52 ERA over 44 appearances including 36 starts and seven complete games. He is NDSU’s all-time record holder for games played, at-bats (805), hits (269), doubles and defensive chances (1119). He finished second in walks (76) and total bases (389), third in innings pitched (213 2/3) and fifth in RBIs. Wentz was an All-Summit League second team starting pitcher in 2010 and infielder in 2012, and he earned CoSIDA Academic All-America® honors both years. He signed a professional contract with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in 2012. A graduate of Bismarck Century High School, Wentz was a four-time Summit League All-Academic and three-time Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence honoree. He is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education at NDSU.

Jake Angier is in his third season as an assistant baseball coach at North Dakota State. He serves a full-time role as the Bison pitching coach. Angier, 27, spent the previous two sea-sons as a graduate assistant at South Dakota State, where he played for the Jackrabbits in 2006 and 2007 before moving into the coach-ing ranks as a student assistant. Angier helped develop two major league draft picks at SDSU - Caleb Thielbar in the 18th round in 2009, and Blake Treinen in the 23rd round in 2010. He also coached All-America reliever Trever Vermeulen. In his first year at NDSU, Angier led a Bison pitching staff that dropped its team ERA by almost a full run from 2010 and held oppos-ing hitters to a Division I program-best .285 batting average. NDSU pitchers logged a school-record 509 innings last season, and the 3.38 ERA was the team’s best in 37 seasons dating back to 1975. The Bison held opponents to a .261 batting average. A native of Bellevue, Wash., Angier began his collegiate playing career at Big Bend Community College, where he saved six games as a sophomore. At SDSU, he had a 2-1 record in 34 appearances over two seasons. Angier graduated from South Dakota State in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and earned a master’s degree in sports pedagogy from South Dakota State in May 2010. He and his wife, Sheena, reside in West Fargo.

SeaSoN PrevieW

Bison Move Into New Role as Preseason Favorite toWin First Summit League Championship After a school-record 40-win season that ended one game shy of the NCAA Division I tournament, North Dakota State is in unfamiliar territory entering the 2013 baseball campaign. The Bison are now Summit League favor-ites according to the coaches’ preseason poll and multiple baseball publications. The task now is to manage those expectations. “Nobody’s going to expect more than what we expect out of ourselves,” said sixth-year NDSU head coach Tod Brown. “We expect to be there in the end, but at this point in time we are not there.” NDSU lost four of its top six hitters from last year’s team that went 40-20 overall and placed third in The Summit League with a 14-10 record. Coupled with that is the loss of three infielders including a pair of four-year starters. “Defensively right now is probably our biggest challenge,” Brown said. “Defense and pitching is what we’re putting the most empha-sis on, and if we can do those two things well, I think we have good enough players in our system to score enough runs to win.” NDSU may have one of the top pitching staffs in The Summit League this year with its top two weekend starters and three late relievers all back. And two important pieces of the batting order are back in the leadoff and cleanup spots. Here’s a position-by-position look at the Bison, who are looking to make their first NCAA playoff appearance since a runner-up finish at the 1969 College Division Midwest Regional:

Pitchers North Dakota State returns two of its four weekend starters including senior right-hander John Straka on Friday and sophomore right-hander David Ernst on Saturday. Straka, an All-Summit League first team pick last year, went 7-4 with a 2.61 ERA and broke a 43-year-old school record with 92 strike-outs. He got the Bison through seven innings in 12 of his 15 starts and pitched four complete games. Ernst, who broke into the starting rotation midseason after an injury to Bryant Larson, took advantage of the opportunity going 6-0 with a 3.67 ERA in 49 innings. He won the final four weeks of the regular season. Out of the bullpen, the Bison have two proven setup men in senior right-hander Simon Anderson and senior lefty Jake Heck. Anderson pitched mostly in a setup role in the seventh and eighth innings and went 2-1 with a 1.83 ERA and two saves. Heck emerged in the second half of the season and finished 1-1 with a save and a 3.20 ERA. He did not allow an earned run in his last nine games. Returning to the closer role is senior right-hander Kyle Kingsley, who was named to the preseason watch list for the Stopper of the

Year award by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Kingsley went 7-4 with five saves and a 2.28 ERA in 26 appearances last year, holding opposing hitters to a .205 batting average and allowing only eight walks in 43 1/3 innings of work. He was All-Summit League second team. The task for NDSU will be to find two new weekend starters and some middle relievers. Senior righty Mark Hermes has the most expe-rience with 20 starts over his freshman and sophomore years before working out of the bullpen last year. Sophomore lefty Parker Trewin may push for a spot in the rota-tion after missing last year with an arm injury, University of Mary trans-fer Jay Flaa emerged as one of NDSU’s top new arms in fall workouts, and dual-position player Trevor Jaunich may also log more innings. The pitching staff is young with eight freshmen all competing for spots in midweek assignments or relief duty.

Catchers North Dakota State will turn the catching duties over to junior Michael Leach with the departure of three-year starter Tyler Steen. The right-handed hitting Leach made 12 starts behind the plate last year but played in 33 games including 11 as the designated hitter and hit .217 with 10 RBIs. Left-handed hitting freshman Dwight Mack will see time right away for the Bison in a backup role, and junior Kyle Kleinendorst could be in line for more signal-calling after catching parts of four games as a freshman in 2011.

North Dakota State returns only three starters and looks to replace four of its top six hitters from last year’s 40-20 team that finished one game shy of its first NCAA tournament since 1969.


Infielders North Dakota State has been one of the top defensive teams in The Summit League in recent years and last year’s veteran club set a school record for the fourth straight season with a .973 fielding percentage. Now the Bison are looking to replace three starters on the infield. All-Summit League second team second baseman Wes Satzinger is the only returner, and the junior could move to first base depending on his health. Satzinger made all 60 starts last year hitting .305 in the cleanup and No. 5 spots with 15 doubles and 31 RBIs but had a shoul-der surgery in the offseason for the third straight year. Sophomore John Skrbec played third base in 27 games last year but may move to shortstop, a move that could free up Trevor Jaunich to play third base and pitch on a regular basis. Jaunich played three games at second base last year. Senior Kirk Kenneally has split time at first base and second base his first two years at NDSU. Four freshmen are vying for infield time including former Omaha Creighton Prep teammates Jon Hechtner at second base and Aiden Hook in the middle infield. Left-handed hitting Paul Funk and right-hander Andy Wicklund are the others.

Outfielders North Dakota State returns two of its three starting outfielders from last year in junior center fielder Tim Colwell and junior right fielder Kyle Kleinendorst. Colwell was NDSU’s first Division I all-region selection last year af-ter hitting .381 in the leadoff spot with school records in games played (60), at-bats (244), hits (93) and triples (9). Colwell had a .438 on-base percentage, drew 25 walks, stole 12 bases and scored 62 runs. He was a preseason All-America third team pick by the NCBWA. Kleinendorst gives the Bison a power-hitting left-handed bat in the lineup. He hit .221 with 10 doubles, three triples, three home runs and 17 RBIs in 48 games last year, including a game-tying homer in NDSU’s eventual 8-2 win at Arizona. The vacancy in left field could be filled by utility player Tate Leapaldt, who redshirted at NDSU last year after transferring from the University of Mary. Leapaldt hit a team-high .339 at U-Mary with nine doubles in 41 games and drew 27 walks with only 10 strikeouts. Juniors Blake Turbak and Nick Altavilla each return for their third years at NDSU as options in the outfield or as designated hitters. The two combined for 25 starts last year.

Schedule North Dakota State opens the regular-season Feb. 15-17 with a three-game series at Arkansas-Pine Bluff and follows that with trips to Southeast Missouri State, Minnesota and Tennessee-Martin before embarking on its annual spring break trip to Florida for eight games. The Bison have six more neutral site games in the Metrodome in late March against Northern State and North Dakota sandwiched around the March 26 home opener against Concordia College. North Dakota State will play a 30-game Summit League schedule consisting of four-game series and doubleheaders against all five op-ponents. NDSU opens April 5-7 at South Dakota State for four games and has a midweek home doubleheader with SDSU on May 14. Other home weekends for NDSU in league play are April 19 and 21 doubleheaders against Western Illinois and Omaha, four games with Oakland May 3-5, and four games with Fort Wayne May 16-18. The four-team Summit League championship will be played at Oakland May 23-25 with the winner earning an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I tournament.

the SUMMit LeaGUe “Ascending” and “improving” are common adjectives used in media coverage of The Summit League as it continues its renaissance. Consisting of nine member institutions with over 3,000 student-athletes competing in 19 championship sports, The Summit League has enjoyed unprecedented success and development in recent history. Since rebranding as The Summit League in 2007, the league has produced 54 All-Americans, 37 Capital One Academic All-America® selections and seven NCAA championships. In the past seven seasons, Summit League teams have achieved final national rankings in six different sports, won NCAA regional championships in two sports and advanced in three additional NCAA team championship tournaments. That level of success carries into both the class-room and athletic competition. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its sixth year of 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 athletic performances of all league student-athletes. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of more than 144,000 at nine universities: IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha, North Dakota State University, Oakland University, University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, and Western Illinois University. The league has two associate members with Eastern Illinois University competing in swimming and diving and Oral Roberts University competing in men’s soccer. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: baseball, 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, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives automatic bids to the NCAA tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcen-dent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the first round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on its way to the Sweet 16. Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce

Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA first-round game and spark its 1998 Sweet 16 run. More recently, the Oral Roberts base-ball program finished the 2004 campaign nationally ranked and became the first Summit League school to reach the NCAA Super Regionals in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State became the league’s first softball team to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. The league has produced nine NCAA champions, four Olympic medalists, and several All-Americans in the sports of track and field, swimming and diving, and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball first-round picks, a pair of NBA first-rounders and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time 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 athletics.

1996 NCC Divisional Champions

The 1996 Bison set a school record for wins (37-11) on their way to the North Central Conference Northern Division title. The club set single-season records for at-bats, hits, runs, RBIs, home runs, stolen bases and walks. On the mound, Justin Fletschock had a single season-record nine wins, and Kevin Wirkkala twirled NDSU’s fifth no-hitter ever.

North Dakota State UNiverSity

North Dakota State University is a shining example of a successful student-focused, land-grant, research institution. With 80,000 living alumni, NDSU commands a powerful niche in higher education and the rest of the nation is noticing its accomplishments.

The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education named NDSU to the elite “Research University/Very High Research” category, which represents the 108 most successful private and public universities in the United States. The classification is convincing recognition of NDSU’s position as a national research institution.

“We have a strong sense of community and campus pride at NDSU. We are dedicated to the land-grant mission of quality education, leading research and outstanding service,” said President Dean L. Bresciani. “NDSU clearly makes a difference in the lives of students and the vitality of our community, state, region and nation.”

Success comes from all sectors of this energized, vibrant university. NDSU enrolled 14,399 students during the fall 2011 semester in undergraduate and graduate programs, including about 2,150 graduate and professional students.

More than 1,200 international students from 80 countries attend classes. NDSU’s student-to-faculty ratio stands at 18:1.

NDSU continues to excel in areas of innovative and technology-driven research, with more than $110 million in annual research expenditures. NDSU is listed in the top 40 research universities without a medical school in the United States, based on research expenditures reported to the National Science Foundation. NDSU consistently ranks in the top 100 research universities in the country in the areas of physical sciences, chemistry, social sciences and agricultural sciences.

Bresciani, who was named NDSU’s 14th president on May 24, 2010, by the State Board of Higher Education, says a rare “window of opportunity” exists in North Dakota, and he has challenged the campus community to imagine how NDSU can help shape the state during the next century.


NDSU: yesterday and todayThe state’s first land grant university was established as North Dakota Agricul-

tural 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 multitude of career opportunities. The university is comprised of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College 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’s outstanding academic departments offer 102 bachelor degree programs, 67 master’s degree programs, 45 doctoral programs, an educational specialist degree and nine graduate certificate programs.

Students work closely with NDSU’s chemists, engineers, architects, musicians, pharmacists, writers and other respected faculty who frequently are on the leading edge of research in their chosen areas. During fall 2010, NDSU had 720 ranked faculty and lecturers, program administrators and coaches, along with 180 part-time academic staff and 827 graduate assistants and fellows, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis.

The NDSU campus in Fargo consists of 119 buildings on approximately 42 square blocks or 258 acres. The university also has state-of-the-art facilities in downtown Fargo. In all, NDSU is located on 18,746 acres of North Dakota land, which includes the main Agricultural Experiment Station at Fargo. There are 53 local Extension offices and eight research Extension centers across the state.

Dedicated to outreach efforts, the NDSU Extension Service conducts a rigorous education program in agriculture, human development, nutrition and youth and community development through its county, area and state staff. The NDSU Extension Service had more than 500,000 face-to-face contacts across the state during this past fiscal year, including 21,000 youth who participated in 4-H Club activities, day camp and after school programs.

Members of NCAA Division I, the talented Bison athletic teams have enjoyed a long tradition of excellence. The student-athletes compete in first-class facilities – the Fargodome, Newman Outdoor Field, Ellig Sports Complex and Bison Sports Arena.

An energetic student bodyThe NDSU student body is a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic blend of

international and ethnic backgrounds. More than 1,200 international students from 80 countries attend classes.

NDSU has bilateral student exchange agreements with institutions in Australia, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, 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 academics, 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 studyThe 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 200,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay Counties.

Often cited as a leader in economic development and job creation, the area is noted for its entertainment options, wealth of activities, excellent parks and outstanding shopping.

Safe and clean, the community is receiving national acclaim. In a ranked listing for Businessweek.com, Bloomberg Rankings said Cass County as the best affordable place in the country. CareerBuilder named North Dakota as “the best state for job seekers.” Fargo was named to the “10 real estate markets to watch in 2011” list by Inman News. And Fargo ranked third among America’s “Least Angry Cities” by Men’s Health magazine.

A campus committed to the futureAdvances have come and continue on many fronts across the university, and

the people of NDSU are optimistically looking to the challenges and opportuni-ties of the future. As President Bresciani says, “The future of North Dakota is at a point of awakening – and our imagination is the only limit to the future. We at NDSU are poised to help make that future a reality. The best is yet to come.”

Gene Taylor, athletic director

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 comprehensive study and evaluation of the Bison athletic department. 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 Conference. Taylor also played an instrumental part of forming the Great West Football Conference 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. The Bison football team won the 2011 FCS National Championship in their second playoff appearance. The NDSU men’s basketball, women’s volleyball and softball programs have qualified for NCAA national tournaments capped off by softball advancing to the 2009 Super Regional. Individuals representing the Bison women’s golf, track and field, and wrestling teams have competed at NCAA championships Also on the reclassification checklist: fundraising. The NDSU athletics budget has tripled from $5 million in Taylor’s first year to $15 million, while the scholarship endowment has grown to $11.2 million, and Team Makers booster club support has went from $750,000 to $2.3 million. The athletics program is two-thirds of the way in the $32 million Building the Competitive Edge campaign to construct the Sanford Health Athletic Complex. Twice Taylor has been recognized for his success by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. He was selected as the FCS Central Region AD of the Year in June 2008 and June 2012. Taylor received the Blue Key Honor Society Doctor of Service Award, one of the most prestigious honors a NDSU faculty member can be bestowed in April 2012. 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.

FARGODOMENorth Dakota State University calls the 18,700-seat Fargodome home for Bison football games. NDSU has also hosted a conference basketball tournament and softball tournaments at the Fargodome, and it has been the site of multiple NBA exhibition games.

A crowd of 18,665 witnessed NDSU’s first Division I football game August 28, 2004, when the Bison shut out Valparaiso, 52-0. Crowds of more than 19,000 have packed the Fargodome for NDSU football on five occasions.

ELLIG SPORTS COMPLEXThe NDSU softball and soccer teams play home games at the Ellig Sports Complex. Included is the Schlanser Track, a nine-lane, 400-meter Pro-Turf surface that hosted five North Central Conference track and field championships from 1997 to 2004 and its first Summit League championship in 2012. Bleacher seating for 3,500 is available for soccer and track and field.

SHELLY ELLIG INDOOR TRACK & FIELD FACILITYNDSU’s training and competition space includes a 200-meter, eight-lane track plus additional practice lanes. The infield has four runways for pole vault, long jump and triple jump along with shot put and weight throw sectors.

BISON SPORTS ARENAThe Bison Sports Arena is the 5,830-seat venue for the NDSU basketball and wrestling teams. The BSA was the site of five NCAA Division II wrestling championships, five women’s basketball championships, three indoor track and field championships, and one women’s volleyball championship.

StUDeNt-athLete SUPPortthe ndsu 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 enhancementIntercollegiate 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 students 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 lifeLiving 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-bedroom apartments. The goal is to provide NDSU students a clean, safe, comfortable and affordable environment where academic success is encouraged and supported. On-cam-pus living offers the opportunity to become part of a learning community.

Strength and conditioningNDSU 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 four 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.

Sports medicineStudent-athletes at NDSU receive outstanding care for athletic-related

injuries. The athletic training staff has access to fully equipped facilities at the Bison Sports Arena, Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, Fargodome and Newman Outdoor Field.

Scott Woken, 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 coverageThe media spotlight shines on NDSU’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 continually 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 coverage of select regular-season games and championship events on ESPN, Fox Sports Net, CBS College Sports, and other regional carriers.

GoBison.comGoBison.com is the online home of NDSU athletics. In 2004, the university

partnered with NeuLion to launch the most interactive website in the athletic department’s history.

Fans can follow their favorite teams from their smartphones with the official NDSU Bison mobile app for Android, iPhone and iPod Touch devices.


North Dakota

The Peace Garden StateOne trip to North Dakota and you’ll understand why it’s known as the

friendliest and safest state to visit. In fact, from agricultural products to quality of life, North Dakota is often at the top of the charts.

Discover the spirit of North Dakota and unlock the fascinating stories from the 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 Saka-kawea 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, sunflowers, 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 Dakota’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.

North Dakota’s oil reserves - known as the Bakken and the Three Forks Forma-tions - have been making headlines for their size and viability. Some reports estimate the Bakken Formation could boost the U.S.’s oil reserves by 10x.

Currently, an average of 218,000 barrels of oil are pumped from wells in North Dakota each day. In 2008, oil production became the #2 industry in North Dakota, which is the fourth largest oil producing state in the U.S.

Gas was first discovered in North Dakota in 1907. Today more of the state’s natural gas is a by-product of oil production. More than 92-million cubic feet of natural gas is captured annually in North Dakota. Among coal-producing states, North Dakota ranks ninth and produces 3 percent of the nation’s output. North Dakota has one of the world’s largest deposits of lignite coal.

Quality of life in the heartland is rarely matched. In its annual crime survey, CQ Press has ranked North Dakota the safest state in the nation in 11 of the last 15 years.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone in North Dakota. The state is home to a variety of cultures, including Scandinavian, Ukrainian, German, Germans from Russia, and Native American.

North Dakota’s 14 state parks and recreation areas are nestled in the shadows of historic forts and sprawled among the stunning Badlands. From primitive campsites to cabin rentals, evening programs in outdoor amphitheaters to guided interpretive trails, you’ll find quite joys and great adventures.

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.

An All-American CityLess than ten thousand 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 end of the last iceage. Over centuries the waters receded, leaving six feet of rich, black soil that today make the Red River Valley one of the world’s most fertile farmlands, with Fargo and Moorhead as its center.

Located in the center of North America, the Red River Valley is a 30-40 mile wide strip of land that gently rises westward from the Red River running northward between North Dakota and Minnesota, extending into Canada. Rich, black soil produces an abundance of crops such as potatoes, sunflowers, sugar beets, wheat, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, oats, and lentils. Industry and agriculture are closely related in Fargo-Moorhead. With two meat-packaging plants, sugar and sunflower processing plants, creameries and a malting barley plant, the metro area processes most of its own products.

When you visit Fargo-Moorhead, you will find yourself in one of the most warm-hearted communities in the entire nation. Our community is currently the largest shopping destination between Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Spokane, Washington. We are home to a vibrant economy, unique attractions and numerous dining establishments of every kind and flavor. The two cities are divided by the Red River of the North which also serves as the border between the states of North Dakota and Minnesota. The river itself is unique as it flows north to eventually drain into Lake Winnipeg.

The city of Fargo was named for one of the owners of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, William G. Fargo. In 1885, the existence of many lawyers in Fargo and easy divorce laws prompted thousands of unhappy married people to apply for the “Ten-Minute Divorce.” Also in Fargo’s history is the Great Fire of 1893, started when Mrs. Rosa Herzman discarded ashes behind her grocery store. They were ignited, and fire spread from what is now Main Avenue to the north. By the end of the day, downtown Fargo was devastated.

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 Scandinavian and European immigrants, Fargo and Moorhead became boomtowns with the arrival of the NP in 1871. When the Northern Pacific Railroad was selecting its crossing site over the Red River, eager land speculators spared no effort to learn of the location. Railroad officials marked a false route a few miles north of Moorhead, Minnesota to throw speculators off the trail. This area, now Oakport Township, was known for years as “Bogusville.”

Under the Homestead Act, settlers 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 overcrowded east. The railroad brought a constant stream of settlers seeking a new life on America’s newest frontier.

Today the population of the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area is more than 200,000, and there seems to be no end in sight to the persistent prosperity and growth. While agriculture is still prominent in the local economy, Fargo-Moor-head has also become an important focal point for other professions, including government, education, medicine, retailing and manufacturing.

From dance to theater to music, Fargo-Moorhead is rich with cultural arts. The local attractions are mostly reflective of the roots of our original settlers. The Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center and Bonanzaville, USA are two sites filled with pioneer spirit and old-time hospitality. The area park districts maintain more than 3,000 acres of parkland and recreational facilities.

Fargo-Moorhead takes pride in its cultural park, Trollwood, as well as its all-year indoor skating and hockey arenas. Several swimming pools, numerous ball diamonds and winter-summer playgrounds and picnic grounds bring the great outdoors to all the people regardless of the weather. In addition to the popular NCAA Division I athletic events at North Dakota State University, Fargo-Moorhead is also home to the F-M RedHawks professional baseball team of the American Association, and the USHL’s Fargo Force hockey team.

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, emails, 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 email, 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. 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.
