UND has d-1 wrestling still right?

Cheers!

No, that was dropped in the 90's at the DII level to add more women's sports. NDSU and SDSU have it though and it's pretty high priority with them because their now Big 12 affiliates.

As said before, the ND schools wanted to go DI even in the 70's and on, but could not get a conference invite and couldn't convince our North Central Conference schools to move up enough masse. When Northern Iowa left the NCC to start the then MidCon with Green Bay, Valpo, E Ill, W Ill and Sw Mo St, that was a massive blow to the NCC and our egos as we werent wanted. N Colorado and Omaha later did move up along with the SD schools. ND schools have always been much more comprehensive than other NCC schools and have more Minnesota fans and connections

Oh ok. That's also good historical info. I didn't know UNI excluded you guys.

Cheers!

Well, UNI didn't exclude us, but the schools further east like W Ill and E Ill probably did as we would have been a flight. They wanted a bus league.
