His latest, in 2007, came in true dominant fashion as the Bison rolled to a total of 273 points, well ahead of runner-up UC Davis at 140. Also in 2007, Larson was honored at the Drake Relays by being just the 75th inductee into the pres� gious event’s Hall of Fame. In his fi rst 25 years, all at the Division II level, the Bison captured 36 total North Central Conference � tles including a conference-record string of 13 consecu� ve outdoor � tles (1987-99) and 20 of the last 22 outdoor crowns.

NDSU’s outdoor squad has been even more successful, capturing the NCC crown 21 � mes. During Larson’s reign, the Bison have placed no worse than third. North Dakota State had success at the Division II na� onal meet as well, fi nishing in the top 10 seven � mes including a third-place fi nish in 2004, the school’s best fi nish at a na� onal meet. As the head cross country coach, he also coached nine cross country athletes to 13 NCAA Division II All-America awards. “Philosophically, our program believes that we need to work hard, train hard, train smart and s� ll have a lot of fun,” said Larson, the United States Track Coaches Associa� on’s 2004 Division II indoor and outdoor Na� onal Coach of the Year. “I think we’ve been able to balance having � me for school, having � me for sport and s� ll having free � me for family and friends. “Most of the athletes we get know the main ingredients of success are hard work and dedica� on,” Larson said. “Our goal is to help them con� nue to grow and develop. We want to help them make the best of their collegiate careers at NDSU.” The North Central Conference was nothing new to the coach when he took over the Bison in 1979. While compe� ng for conference rival South Dakota State University (1971-76), Larson captured two All-America awards and seven NCC championships in track and fi eld. He set three league records and s� ll holds a share of the re� red 600-yard indoor mark of 1:11.90 set in 1975. Larson captured his All-America honors in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles in 1972 (6th) and 1975 (4th). The 56-year-old Larson, a na� ve of Madison, S.D., holds a bachelor’s de-gree in physical educa� on from South Dakota State and a master’s degree in physical educa� on from Minnesota State University Moorhead. He coached at Concordia College in Moorhead prior to joining the Bison. Larson, a 51-� me Coach of the Year at various levels, was the 1998 recipi-ent of South Dakota State’s Ralph Ginn Award for Coaching Excellence and is a member of the Howard Wood Dakota Relays Hall of Fame. Larson’s wife, Desire’e has held assistant coaching du� es in the high jump the past 20 years at NDSU. The coaches have two children, Kelsey and Kira.

The North Dakota State women’s track and fi eld team has won four straight

Summit League � tles: two in-door and two outdoor and will try to defend its � tles this year. The Bison lost four seniors from last year’s championship squad, including All-American Laura Hermanson and NCAA regional qualifi er Amanda Benz. Despite the losses, NDSU returns a strong con� ngent for the 2010 season, including NCAA Championship qualifi ers Leslie Brost, Whitney Carlsonand Bri� any Gigstead. Head coach Ryun Godfrey returns for his 11th season a� er earning league coach of the year honors twice in 2010.

Sprints/Hurdles Two-� me Summit League championship MVP junior Whitney Carlson will lead the Bi-son a� er a record-se� ng year in 2009. She set school records in the 100 meters, the 100 meter hurdles and the 400 meter hurdles in the spring. Senior Heather Zander and junior Devon Wentz will also be forces in the hurdles. Both are ranked in the NDSU all-� me top ten in the 100 hurdles while Wentz is an NCAA regional qualifi er in the 400 meter hurdles. Junior Emily Black runs the 200 and 400 me-ters and sophomore Bri� any Page is coming off a solid freshman campaign and specializes in the 100 and 200. Junior Jennifer Nagberi can also make waves in the sprints. Freshmen Deborah John, Antoine� e Good-man and Ashley Tingelstad will also look to contribute in the sprints.

Middle DistanceJuniors Chris� ne Bruins, Bri� any Gigstead

and Amy Jo Reuter will lead the middle dis-tance crew this season. The trio is coming off a strong cross country season in the fall. Reuter was the team’s top fi nisher in fi ve races. Gigstead advanced to the NCAA Champion-ships in the 800 meters last season and will aim to reach that stage again. She holds the third fastest 800 � me in school history. Senior Amy Bestland can compete at both the middle distances and the sprints.

DistanceJunior Marissa Dahlquist and sophomore

Jordan Krahn will pace the distance squad. Both athletes competed in the 3,000 meters at the Summit League Championships last spring and will aim to improve on their performances.

Jumps Sophomore Leslie Brost is the defending Summit League champion in the out-door pole vault and set school records both in-door and outdoor last season. She will aim for her second straight bid to both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships. Senior Sammantha Kouba, sophomore Amy Marquardt and sophomore Peggy Ronke are also strong compe� tors in the pole vault. Kou-ba fi nished just off the podium in the indoor pole vault at last year’s league championshipsand will look to improve on that fi nish. A strong duo will lead the Bison in the long jump. Junior Whitney Carlson holds the school record in the outdoor long jump and was an NCAA regional qualifi er in the event last spring. Sophomore Kristen Killoran was runner-up to Carlson in the long jump at the Summit League championships in the spring. She also is a top triple jumper and qualifi ed for the NCAA regional in both the long and triple jumps. Senior Bri� ni Bruenjes also competes in both the long and triple jumps. She was second in the triple jump at the league indoor champi-onships and will aim to top the personal bests she set last year. Senior Courtney Carpenter will compete in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. Car-penter was third in the high jump at the indoor league championships last year and fourth at the outdoor championships.

Junior Rheanda Jangula will contribute in the long and triple jumps, while redshirt fresh-man Toni Tollefson will compete in the high jump.

Throws The Bison throwers are a young group af-ter gradua� ng two seniors. Sophomore Ka� e Johnson is in her fi rst year on the team a� er playing golf for NDSU as a freshman. Sophomore Maribeth Geiszler can also con-tribute in the throws.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NDSU students fi nd it is easy to make friends and get involved with campus life. They can par� cipate in more than 200 student organiza-� ons to develop personal and social rela� onships, explore new ideas, learn about peo-ple from around the world and augment their course-work. The groups focus on academics, special interests, service, performing and visual arts, religion and recrea� on. There also are intercultural groups, honor socie� es, fra-terni� es and sorori� es.

Fargo: a great place to live, work and study

The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is o� en listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the Na� onal Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest community between Minneapolis and Sea� le. About 187,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay Coun� es. Accolades for the community come from a variety of sources. For instance, Forbes.com listed NDSU and Fargo as number fi ve in an ar� cle called “Top College Towns for Jobs.” The research used U.S. metropolitan sta� s� cal area data and examined job growth using data from Moody’s Economy.com. A report from the American Lung Associa-� on names Fargo-Moorhead as the best city

for ozone pollu� on, short-term par� cle pollu-� on and long-term par� cle pollu� on. Fargo-Moorhead has topped a list of 72 areas studied by Earth Day Network and ranked for environmental health. Researchers looked at more than 200 indicators, with Fargo the best in air quality, drinking and surface water, and toxins and waste. In addi� on, Fargo-Moorhead ranked 15th on the “Best U.S. Ci� es for Job Growth” pub-lished on NewGeography.com.

A campus commi� ed to the future Advances have come and con� nue on many fronts across the university, and the people of NDSU are op� mis� cally looking to the challenges and opportuni� es of the future. The university has transformed, moved to the next level and its stature has increased among the na� on’s land-grant universi� es.

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

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

Student-Athlete Support

Sports Medicine Student-athletes at North Dakota State receive outstanding care for athle� c-related injuries. The athle� c training staff has fully-equipped facili� es at the Bison Sports Arena, Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, Fargo-dome and Newman Outdoor Field. Sco� Woken, director of sports medicine, heads a staff of eight cer� fi ed athle� c trainers who a� end all prac� ces and compe� � ons, 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 athle� c teams from the opening of fall camps into the summer months. With four network television sta� ons, three sports talk radio hosts, and the state’s largest daily newspaper all headquartered in Fargo, the Bison are con-� nually a hot topic locally and in the region. Along with regular television news coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affi liates, the Bison receive expanded regional and na� onal 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 athle� cs. In 2004, NDSU partnered with JumpTV Sports to launch the most interac� ve Web site in the athle� c department’s history. Beyond regular news releases, schedules, rosters, game recaps and sta� s� cs, fans can visit GoBison.com to watch live in-game stats of most home events, purchase � ckets, buy photos and download graphics and ringtones for mobile handheld devices. Plus, with the All Access subscrip� on 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 athle� c 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 fi rst.

ACE: Academic Collegiate Enhancement Intercollegiate athle� cs, in coopera� on with Orienta� on and Student Success, off ers 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 specifi c academic criteria for admission into the program. In coopera� on with various services and units available for stu-dents at NDSU, the ACE program includes:• Academic orienta� ons• Helping student-athletes improve study skills for academic success• Iden� fying university resources to assist student-athletes• Coordina� ng 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 educa� onal, cultural, social and recrea� onal ac� vi� es. Na� onal studies show students living on campus are more likely to persist in their educa� on and earn higher GPAs than their off -campus peers. The Department of Residence Life off ers a variety of op� ons for on-campus living, from tradi� onal men’s and women’s halls to four-bed-room apartments. The goal is to provide NDSU students a clean, safe, comfortable and aff ordable environment where academic success is encouraged and supported. On-campus living off ers the opportunity to become part of a learning community.

Strength and Condi� oning North Dakota State takes a comprehensive approach to the physical development of the student-athlete. Strength training, speed development, plyometrics, agility and condi� oning programs are based on the specifi c movements and physiological demands of each sport.

Quality of life in the heart-land is rarely matched. In its annual crime survey, CQ Press has ranked North Dakota the safest state in the na� on in 11 of the last 15 years.

One 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 o� en at the top of the charts.

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

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 invigora� ng winter days, plen� ful snowfall and varied terrain have made it a winter playground. Ac� vi� es such as snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, ice fi shing, sledding and ska� ng are favorite pas� mes.

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

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

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

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

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

ARE YOU A REPRESENTATIVE OF NDSU’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

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

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

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE?

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

WHO CAN RECRUIT FOR NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY?

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

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

NCAA RULES REGARDING THE INTERNET

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

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH PROSPECTS

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

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH ENROLLED STUDENT-ATHLETES

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

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

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

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

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

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

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