Yeah him, WR Brady Perryman and QB Jack Strand have been a great trio for the offense the last few years. They will be tough to replace.

The Dragons have had a good year. Unfortunately they dropped a couple important games against UMD and Northern State. They were leading in both but ultimately fell short, costing them a playoff hunt.

They have a chance to end their season with an upset over MSU Mankato, though, which would be huge.
 

Rankings are out. Closing in on the final week.

Tying this in to some discussion we've had about Gopher athletics ... How much money do D3 and D2 schools lose on having a football team? I can't imagine they draw many fans (with a few exceptions like St. Johns) and certainly don't have TV deals.

I watch NSIC games on TV. I don't know what the conference or teams earn.

St Olaf Men's Hockey Roster is 28 players. Tuition and housing is a $77,000 tab.

28 X 77,000 = $2,156,000.00

Late Reply here, but as a St. Olaf student I can say likely the actual average cost for students to attend is 25k per. Obviously not cheap but the idea that D3 schools are drastically more expensive is not true. They offer insane amounts of financial aid!

Was Basil's Pizza the main draw for you to attend college in Northfield?

Also schools like St Olaf, Carleton, MAC, are actually having issues with TOO MANY students applying causing acceptance ratings to be below 50%. This is because these schools have adapted being somewhat prestigious academically. Sure these schools may not be as "fun" compared to Collegeville or Duluth but they are for sure not in danger of losing money!

I don't think the NSIC app generates much revenue. I've watched basketball games on it.

The NSIC app is more of a platform for broadcasts rather than the actual production, too. Most productions are either local channels, which is what Duluth does, or student productions, such as Moorhead. Several sync the radio broadcast with the video, too, like Crookston (at least for basketball) and Northern State.

I doubt that's average. Completely depends on your family income and merit-based scholarships.
