Bison Athletics Year in Review 2017-18 the Tradition of Success Continued North Dakota State BISON ATHLETICS YEAR IN REVIEW 2017-18 THE TRADITION OF SUCCESS CONTINUED... From our first year of athletics competition in 1894 we have experienced a long history of tradition and success on so many levels. For an athletic program that has been one of the most successful in all of college athletics, it is amazing to see that 124 years later we continue to achieve firsts and milestones today. This year we witnessed our 26th national championship, our 254th conference championship, our third Summit League Commissioner’s Cup, our first Division I men’s golf championship, and the first time in history that Team Makers generated revenue to support Bison Athletics in excess of $5.5 million. Not to be outdone by all the athletic successes, our student-athletes continued to raise the bar academically and set a new standard for future Bison to strive toward. For the first time in our Division I history, all athletic teams reached a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater while also achieving our highest overall student-athlete GPA of 3.42. In addition, Daniel Polansky (football) and Clay Ream (wrestling) each received the Elite 90 award at their respective national championship for the highest GPA of all participants. This classroom success is preparing our student-athletes for their professional careers upon graduating from NDSU. Our facility profile continued to be transformed with phase one completion of a new softball stadium and a short-game facility in the Sanford Health Athletic Complex for both golf programs. These new facilities, coupled with our recent enhancements and future projects, have paid dividends in training our student-athletes and providing new opportunities in recruiting. All of the above success, accolades and progress is not surprising given the strategic investment in scholarships, facilities, operations and personnel. The power of Bison Nation has been witnessed on so many levels, but none more important than the financial support of our athletics program. This investment and belief in our program is the driving force behind our pursuit of excellence and the development of our student-athletes. As we celebrate this past year, we look to your continued support as we strive for new milestones next year. The following pages highlight what has been another outstanding year in NDSU Athletics. Please join us in recognizing all the athletic and academic accomplishments of 2017-18. Thank you in advance for your continued friendship, loyalty, pride and financial support. Go Bison! Matt Larsen Director of Athletics Facilities NDSU Athletics is in the fundraising stage for a new $37.2 million indoor football practice facility. The facility will be a full 120 yards long and 60 yards wide with a 70-foot height clearance over the field, and will open up to a second artificial turf field outdoors. The operational side of the building will include a locker room, team meeting room and sports medicine facilities, and the strength and performance center will include a weight room and fueling station. Facilities directly impact success. Three months after opening the new golf short-game facility within the Sanford Health Athletic Complex, NDSU won Summit League championships in both men’s and women’s golf. The facility includes contoured putting and chipping turf to simulate on-course play with 12 holes spread over a variety of flat and sloped conditions. 4 2017-18 Phase I of an $800,000 renovation to the Ellig Sports Complex softball facility was completed in time for the 2018 season with the addition of a new grandstand with chairback seats and protective netting, a press box and camera deck, sound system and scoreboard.

The totals you see are correct. *Looking for sortable projections by position or category? Check out the projections tab inside the ESPN Fantasy game. *'Team stat rankings' is where each team is projected to finish in the category that is shown. *'Unit Grades' is not related to fantasy football and is an attempt at objective an ranking of each team at 10 key positions. The overall grades are weighted based on positional importance. The scale is 4.0 (best) to 0.1 (worst). A full rundown of Unit Grades can be found on page 51. *'Strength of Schedule Ranking' is based on 2021 rosters (not 2020 team record). '1' is easiest and '32' hardest. See the full list on page 50. *Note that prior to the official release of the NFL schedule (generally late April), the schedule shown includes the correct opponents, but the order is simulated. *Have a question or notice an error?
