Watching this game between Montana state and NDSU rn and it has me thinking as someone who doesn’t know much about old day football, why did NDSU become a super power in a region so void of everything at least football wise. Why NDSU as opposed to North Dakota, or South Dakota, or some other FCS school in that region?
How did they become a super power in the FCS with such a small regional population, no major programs, no major recruiting pipelines, etc.
