North Dakota State University’s base-ball team has played and practiced on campus at Newman Outdoor Field since 1997.

The Bison share the facility with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the indepen-dent Northern League. Completed in June 1996 at an original cost of $5.5 million, the stadium’s permanent seating capacity is 4,422 fans. Naming rights were awarded to Harold Newman, founder of Newman Outdoor Ad-vertising, for $1.5 million in 1998. Dimensions are 318 feet to left field, 399 feet to left-center field, 408 to center field, 365 to right-center, and 314 down the right-field line. The surface is natural grass. Dressing rooms are located under the stadium behind each dugout, and there is an indoor batting cage. A two-tiered press box with radio and television booths provides ample working space high above home plate between 12 spectator suites.

New for the 2012 season, Daktronics will install an electronic scoreboard and LED video board measuring 26 feet wide by 13 feet high that will display stats, game and sponsor information, and an HD video feed. The stadium has superior lighting for evening and late night games and a full-sized infield tarp for foul weather. Newman Outdoor Field has been the site of several playoff games, including the 2000 North Central Conference tournament, seven Northern League championship series, and the 2009 American Legion World Series. NDSU previously hosted games at Jack Williams Stadium, the Fargo American Legion facility, five minutes east of campus. NDSU also played on the artificial turf of former Bison football stadium Dacotah Field, and an on-campus diamond at 17th Avenue and Albrecht Boulevard that was lost to construction of the Fargodome after the 1990 baseball season.

With an impressive resume of collegiate and professional experience, and a long tenure of

coaching baseball in a northern climate, Tod Brown hit the ground running when he was hired as North Dakota State’s head baseball coach in July 2007. Brown, who has a 75-120 record in his first four seasons at NDSU, is execut-ing a comprehensive plan that will put the Bison baseball program on track for long-term success in Division I. Some of the early changes under Brown’s direction were immediately no-ticeable, including equipment upgrades and a redesign of the team’s uniforms, caps and travel gear. Other improvements have happened behind the scenes, including scholar-ship increases and steady progress in the classroom. NDSU has achieved at least a 3.0 GPA the past four fall semesters, and is averaging a 3.03 since fall 2007. On the field, North Dakota State’s winning percentage jumped 30 points in 2009 and the Bison won a Division I program-best 22 games each of the last two years. Brown, 40, previously was the pitch-ing coach and recruiting coordinator for eight seasons at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he was part of two division titles and one regular-sea-son championship in the Mid-American Conference. He coached two MAC Player of the Year award-winners and eight pro draft picks.

Tod BrownHead CoachFifth seasonAge: 40Born: June 27, 1971Hometown: Tucson, ArizonaWife: JanetChildren: One son, Brooks, and one daughter, BlakeEducation: Bachelor’s degree in regional development, University of Arizona, 1994;

post-baccalaureate in education, Chapman University, 1997.

Eight players from Brown’s former teams have reached the major leagues, including shortstop J.J. Hardy and pitch-ers Jamie Vermilyea and Tim Wood from Sabino High School, in Tucson, Ariz., out-fielder Shelley Duncan and pitchers Josh Pearce and Ben Diggins at the University of Arizona, and pitcher Burke Badenhop and outfielder Nolan Reimold from Bowl-ing Green. After two years as the pitching coach at Sabino High School in Tucson, Ariz., Brown began his collegiate coaching career in 1999 as a volunteer assistant for Arizona. He worked with pitchers and catchers and was the first-base coach for the Wildcats, who qualified for an NCAA regional. Brown was head coach of the San Francisco Seals of the California Coastal Collegiate League in the summer of 1999, compiling a 43-29 record and mak-ing a fourth-place finish in the National Baseball Congress World Series.

A left-handed pitcher, Brown played for College Baseball Hall of Fame coach Jerry Kindall at Arizona, where he was a member of the 1992 Pac-10 champi-onship team. In 1993, Brown won six games and had eight saves while setting Arizona’s single-season record with 35 appearances. He was named to the All-Midwest Regional team as the Wildcats fell one run shy of a College World Series appearance. Brown played professional baseball in 1994 for the Brainerd Bears in the North Central League before signing a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Indians. He was released in spring train-ing after a career-ending injury. Brown earned a bachelor’s degree in regional development from Arizona in 1994 and a post-baccalaureate in educa-tion from Chapman University in 1997. He and his wife, Janet, have an 11-year-old boy, Brooks, and an 8-year-old girl, Blake.


David Pearson is in his fifth year as an assistant baseball coach at North Da-kota State. He assists in all phases of the program and serves as the team’s hitting coach and recruiting coordinator. Pearson, 35, was hired in August 2007 after a one-year stint as bullpen coach for the Kitsap BlueJackets of the West Coast Collegiate League. He was an assistant baseball coach at Mayville State in 2005 and 2007. At NDSU, Pearson has helped recruit four All-Summit League performers. The Bison elevated their batting average more than 40 points from 2008 to 2009 and have posted the team’s top three hitting seasons in Division I since then. He is credited with starting two American Legion baseball programs in his home state of North Dakota, including one year as head coach at Hankinson and two years as the head coach at Griggs County. He was an assistant coach at May-Port-CG High School and the University of North Dakota for one season each. Pearson was a two-time all-conference infielder in junior college at Minot State-Bottineau and went on to play two seasons at Mayville State. He was a member of two Region 3 championship teams and played in the 2002 NAIA World Series. Pearson graduated from Mayville State in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in business education. He and his wife, Keleigh, reside in Fargo with their son, Carter.

Kole Zimmerman, Volunteer Assistant

Former North Dakota State baseball and football player Kole Zimmerman is in his third year as a volunteer assistant baseball coach at NDSU. Zimmerman was a catcher, outfielder and first baseman for the Bison from 2004 to 2008. He hit .277 with 14 home runs and 117 RBIs in his career and won a North Central Conference title in 2004. On the football field, Zimmerman was a four-year letterman at linebacker. He played as a true freshman in 2002 and saw action in five games before a knee injury ended his year and kept him out of the 2003 baseball season. Zimmerman charted 170 tackles and seven sacks in 35 career games for the Bison. He had one interception return for a touchdown his senior year before missing the final game with another knee injury that sidelined him for baseball in 2006. Zimmerman, 28, has played minor league baseball with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the independent Northern League the past four seasons. A native of Windom, Minn., Zimmerman was a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American® and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner. He completed a bachelor’s degree in history at NDSU in 2006 and a master’s degree in his-tory at NDSU in 2010.

Jake Angier is in his second season as an assistant baseball coach at North Dakota State. He serves a full-time role as the Bison pitching coach. Angier, 26, spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at South Dakota State, where he played for the Jackrabbits in 2006 and 2007 before moving into the coaching ranks as a student assistant. Angier helped develop two major league draft picks at SDSU – Caleb Thiel-bar in the 18th round in 2009, and Blake Treinen in the 23rd round in 2010. He also coached All-America reliever Trever Vermeulen. In his first year at NDSU, Angier led a pitching staff that dropped its team ERA by almost a full run from 2010 and held opposing hitters to a Division I program-best .285 average. A native of Bellevue, Wash., Angier began his collegiate playing career at Big Bend Community College, where he saved six games as a sophomore. At SDSU, he was 2-1 in 34 appear-ances over two seasons. He graduated from South Dakota State in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and earned a master’s degree in sports pedagogy in May 2010. He and his wife, Sheena, reside in West Fargo.

Veteran Bison Baseball Team Aims for Return to Postseason After Strong Finish and First Summit League Tourney Appearance After back-to-back 20-win seasons and mak-ing its first appearance in the Summit League tournament, an experienced North Dakota State baseball team looks to continue improving in 2012. NDSU has seven starting position players and six of its regular pitchers back from last year’s team that went 15-12 in The Summit League for third place – its highest finish in four seasons. Last year’s team tied a Division I school re-cord for victories at 22-32 overall. After starting the year 0-13, the Bison went three games over .500 the rest of the way. “I thought we got off to a rough start last year, but our quality of play was OK,” said Tod Brown, who is 75-120 entering his fifth season as head coach. “Our pitching and defense kept us in a lot of games, and then our offense got more comfort-able. We made some adjustments in our lineup and started playing solid baseball.” Brown says the first 18-20 games of the season will provide a good test for the depth of his team as the Bison try to settle in on a lineup and pitching rotation that will carry them into Summit League play. “Baseball is a game you need to play a bunch in order to get comfortable and play well,” Brown said. “We have a lot of moving parts and there will be opportunities to play dif-ferent positions and see what works best.” Here’s a position-by-position look at the Bison, who were picked to finish fourth in The Summit League in a preseason poll of the league’s seven head coaches:

Pitchers North Dakota State returns six pitchers who logged at least 20 in-nings last year but will be looking to replace a key piece in All-Summit League starter Colby Tognetti. NDSU returns three veterans who are proven weekend starters, including a fourth-year junior in John Straka and seniors Luke Ander-son and Zach Wentz. “Starting pitching is so critical. It sets the tone for the game,” Brown said. “They have a lot of experience under their belts.” Straka worked his way back onto the mound last April after miss-ing the entire 2010 season for arm surgery. He was 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA in five starts and nine appearances. Straka was All-Summit League second team as a freshman in 2009 when he had a 1.89 ERA in six league games. Anderson was 2-3 with a 5.69 ERA in nine starts and led the Bison staff with 46 strikeouts last year, while Wentz went 3-6 with a 7.12 ERA. As many as four players are in contention for the fourth weekend starting spot and midweek assignments as the season begins. Junior Mark Hermes made 11 starts with a 2-7 record and 5.94 ERA last year. Senior Glenn Parker, one of only three available left-handers this year, made it into the rotation as a freshman but has worked out of the bullpen the past two years.

Two other possible starters are junior Bryant Larson and fresh-man David Ernst, who was a 47th round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs out of high school last summer. Middle relief duties will be up to a large cast of newcomers, including five first-year college players, but that isn’t a situation that worries the head coach. “We’ll put them in situations they can handle early to get some experience and get their feet wet,” Brown said. “We can break them in a little slower and let them grow into a role that they earn.” Freshmen Joe Axelson, Adam Poehlmann, Trevor Jaunich and Becker Steinemann will join sophomore Adam Loe and junior col-lege transfer Jake Heck in the middle relief pool to start the year. The closer’s role is open with the loss of Jason Mattila, who had seven saves and a 3.30 ERA last season. Junior Kyle Kingsley is a front-runner for late relief duties after a dazzling sophomore season out of the pen. Kingsley is 6-0 with two saves and a 3.56 ERA in 23 career relief appearances over two years. Power pitchers Simon Anderson and Anthony Kliniske are also candidates for late innings. The 6-foot-5 Anderson split 10 appearanc-es as a starter and reliever as a sophomore last year and 6-7 Kliniske made nine relief appearances.

Catchers The Bison have plenty of depth behind the plate led by a pair of returning left-handed hitters. Senior Tyler Steen made 42 of 54 starts and hit .274 with 10 doubles and 23 RBIs last year. Sophomore Kyle Kleinendorst hit .214 in 23 games, mostly in the outfield.

North Dakota State returns seven starters and six of its top pitchers from last year’s Summit League tournament team.


Sophomore transfer Michael Leach will challenge for a backup spot after hitting .380 with five extra-base hits and 14 RBIs in 24 games last year at Walla Walla Community College in Washington. Junior Chris Holke also joins the program from Harper College in Illinois.

Infielders North Dakota State has set team fielding records each of the past two seasons and it won’t be a surprise if the Bison can top their .968 mark from a year ago. Anchoring the defense for a fourth consecutive year is former walk-on shortstop Max Casper, who may be the top defensive player in The Summit League. Casper made a career-low five errors and had a .979 fielding per-centage last season. He has not made more than one error in a single game over his 148-game career. “Every year I’ve been here our defense has gotten better and Max is a big part of that,” Brown said. “If you have quality play at shortstop, it seems to spread like wildfire.” Former first baseman Zach Wentz made a seamless transition to become the everyday third baseman last year while maintaining a respectable .292 batting average with a team-high 17 doubles and five home runs to go along with 25 RBIs. “The biggest improvement Zach has made at NDSU is his defensive play,” Brown said. “Ultimately the reason he’s a lot better is because he put the work in. He takes extra ground balls all the time.” On the right side of the infield, Wes Satzinger returns at second base after hitting .308 with 15 extra base hits including two home runs and a team-high 35 RBIs. He is coming back from a shoulder injury but should be full speed by opening day. One of NDSU’s two losses in the starting lineup from last year is at first base where Zach Heidmann hit .297 last year. The Bison will rely on their versatility to keep a left-handed arm and bat there by Nick Colwell moving in from left field. It won’t be a difficult move for Colwell, who hit .279 with 24 RBIs last year. He was an all-region first baseman for Iowa Central’s 2010 NJCAA World Series team. Kirk Kenneally could be a backup at first base if he is not in the lineup as a designated hitter. Kenneally hit .356 in a limited role off the bench last year. Ben Herauf may also fill the DH role. New to the Bison infield are redshirt freshman John Skrbec, who is the frontrunner to fill in at third base during Wentz’s pitching assign-ments, and true freshmen Aiden Hook and Trevor Jaunich who will be available at shortstop and second base.

Outfielders North Dakota State’s outfield situation will best be solved at the plate. Depending on who is swinging the hot bat, as many as six play-ers could platoon between the three positions. The top returner in the group is speedy sophomore Tim Colwell, who hit .333 from the left side of the plate and stole a team-high 10 bases in 13 tries last year. He made a majority of the starts in center field and shared time in right field. Kleinendorst and Nick Anderson both have played all three outfield positions, and the Bison can turn to Nick Altavilla as another option in the corners. Anderson hit .203 in 27 games and Altavilla was 1-for-2 with five walks in seven total plate appearances. Blake Turbak, who was NDSU’s regular DH last year, will be in the running for more time in right field after making six starts there as a freshman. Turbak finished as the team’s top hitter with a .349 average and 19 RBIs. He hit .545 in three Summit League tournament games.

Schedule North Dakota State is scheduled to begin its schedule with a three-game series Feb. 17-19 at nationally ranked Arizona, where the Wildcats are ranked from fifth to 20th in the preseason polls after an NCAA regional runner-up finish in 2011. The Bison are back on the road the second and third weekends to play four-game series at Northern Colorado and SIU Edwardsville before embarking on their annual spring break trip to Winter Haven, Fla., for seven games. “There are a lot of teams on our schedule that are picked to fin-ish in the upper half of their conferences,” Brown said, “but they have snow on their field and have some weather challenges like we do.” NDSU comes back from Florida in time for a two-game series at Minnesota on March 20-21 before returning to the Metrodome for a four-game series with North Dakota on April 1-2. The Bison will get a four-game weekend tune-up at Nebraska Omaha before the scheduled home openers with Valley City State and Mayville State, then jump into Summit League play April 13-15 at Western Illinois. North Dakota State has a 17-game home schedule planned, weather permitting. Summit League opponents coming to Fargo are South Dakota State (April 20-22), Southern Utah (May 4-6) and Oak-land (May 11-13). Minnesota pays a return trip to Newman Outdoor Field for the eighth straight year on April 25. The top four teams in the Summit League regular season will advance to the double-elimination league tournament May 24-26 hosted by 14-time defending tournament champion Oral Roberts at J.L. Johnson Stadium in Tulsa, Okla.

the SUMMit LeaGUe “Ascending” and “improving” are adjectives frequently used in media cov-erage of The Summit League as it continues a renaissance on the playing field and in the classroom. As The Summit League celebrates its 30th anniversary season as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, the level of performance and achievement among the 11 member institutions and over 3,000 student-athletes in 19 cham-pionship sports continues to grow. Headlining The Summit League’s most recent history were the additions of the University of South Dakota and the University of Nebraska Omaha to its membership. USD joined in 2009 and the 2011-12 academic year marks its first full year of league competition. UNO’s membership took effect on July 1, 2011, and it will begin league competition in 2012-13. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its fifth year of rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of more than 135,000 at 11 universities: IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha, North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts University, the University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. The league has one other associate member, Eastern Illinois University, which competes in swimming and diving. Southern Utah University will leave for the Big Sky Conference after the 2011-12 year. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: baseball, 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, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives automatic bids to the NCAA tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcen-dent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the first round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament

on its way to the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA first-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, the Oral Roberts baseball program finished the 2004 campaign with a national ranking and became the first Summit League school to reach the NCAA Super Region-als in 2006. The league has produced five NCAA champions, four Olympic athletes, and several All-Americans in the sports of track and field, swimming and diving, and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball first-round picks, a pair of NBA first-rounders and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time 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 athletics.

1996 NCC Divisional Champions

The 1996 Bison set a school record for wins (37-11) on their way to the North Central Conference Northern Division title. The club set single-season records for at-bats, hits, runs, RBIs, home runs, stolen bases and walks. On the mound, Justin Fletschock had a single season-record nine wins, and Kevin Wirkkala twirled NDSU’s fifth no-hitter ever.

North Dakota State UNiverSity

North Dakota State University is a proud example of a successful student-focused, land-grant, research institution. With more than 78,000 living alumni, NDSU commands a powerful niche in higher education and the rest of the nation is noticing its accomplishments.

The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education recently named NDSU to the elite “Research University/Very High Research” category, which represents the 108 most successful private and public universities in the United States. The classification is convincing recognition of NDSU’s position as a national research institution.

“We have a strong sense of community and campus pride at NDSU. We are dedicated to the land-grant mission of quality education, leading research and outstanding service,” said President Dean L. Bresciani. “NDSU clearly makes a difference in the lives of students and the vitality of our community, state, region and nation.”

Success comes from all sectors of this energized, vibrant university. In fall 2010, more than 14,400 students chose to enroll in NDSU’s undergraduate and graduate programs, setting a record for the 11th year in a row.

NDSU continues to excel in areas of innovative and technology-driven research, with more than $110 million in annual research expenditures. NDSU is listed in the top 40 research universities without a medical school in the United States, based on research expenditures reported to the National Science Foundation. NDSU consistently ranks in the top 100 research universities in the country in the areas of physical sciences, chemistry, social sciences and agricultural sciences.

The state’s original land grant university, NDSU reaches out to North Dakota residents. For example, the NDSU Extension Service had 532,719 face-to-face contacts across the state during the fiscal year ending September 2010, including 5,073 youth who were active in organized 4-H Clubs.

Bresciani, who was named NDSU’s 14th president on May 24, 2010, by the State Board of Higher Education, says a rare “window of opportunity” exists in North Dakota, and he has challenged the campus community to imagine how NDSU can help shape the state during the next century.


NDSU: yesterday and todayThe state’s first land grant university was established as North Dakota Agricul-

tural College on March 8, 1890, and organized for educational work on Oct. 15, 1890. President Horace E. Stockbridge and a five-member faculty welcomed the first 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 institution educates students for a multitude of career opportunities. The university is comprised of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College of Business; College of Engineering and Architecture; College of Human Development and Education; College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences; College of Science and Mathematics; College of University Studies; and College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies.

NDSU’s outstanding academic departments offer more than 100 bachelor degree programs, 66 master’s degree programs, 46 doctoral programs, an educational specialist degree and nine graduate certificate programs.

Students work closely with NDSU’s chemists, engineers, architects, musicians, pharmacists, writers and other respected faculty who frequently are on the leading edge of research in their chosen areas. During fall 2010, NDSU had 720 ranked faculty and lecturers, program administrators and coaches, along with 180 part-time academic staff and 827 graduate assistants and fellows, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis.

The NDSU campus in Fargo consists of 119 buildings on approximately 42 square blocks or 258 acres. The university also has state-of-the-art facilities in downtown Fargo. In all, NDSU is located on 18,746 acres of North Dakota land, which includes the main Agricultural Experiment Station at Fargo. There are 53 local Extension offices and eight research Extension centers across the state, and 18,488 acres dedicated to agricultural research.

Dedicated to outreach efforts, the NDSU Extension Service conducts a rigorous education program in agriculture, human development, nutrition and youth and community development through its county, area and state staff. The NDSU Extension Service had 590,103 face-to-face contacts across the state during this past fiscal year, including 23,455 youth who participated in 4-H programs and activities.

Members of NCAA Division I, the talented Bison athletic teams have enjoyed a long tradition of excellence. The student-athletes compete in first-class facilities – the Fargodome, Newman Outdoor Field, Ellig Sports Complex and Bison Sports Arena.

An energetic student bodyThe NDSU student body is a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic blend of

international and ethnic backgrounds. During the fall of 2010, undergraduate and graduate students came from 52 North Dakota counties and 42 states. The university currently has more than 1,270 international students from 89 countries.

NDSU has bilateral student exchange agreements with institutions in Australia, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. There also are memorandums of understanding with other countries such as Belize, China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

NDSU students find it is easy to make friends and get involved with campus life. They can participate in more than 200 student organizations to develop personal and social relationships, explore new ideas, learn about people from around the world and augment their course work. The groups focus on academics, special interests, service, performing and visual arts, religion and recreation. There also are intercultural groups, honor societies, fraternities and sororities.

Fargo: a great place to live, work and studyThe home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is often listed

as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest community between Minneapolis and Seattle. About 200,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay Counties.

Often cited as a leader in economic development and job creation, the area is noted for its entertainment options, wealth of activities, excellent parks and outstanding shopping.

Safe and clean, the community is receiving national acclaim. In a ranked listing for Businessweek.com, Bloomberg Rankings said Cass County as the best affordable place in the country. CareerBuilder named North Dakota as “the best state for job seekers.” Fargo was named to the “10 real estate markets to watch in 2011” list by Inman News. And Fargo ranked third among America’s “Least Angry Cities” by Men’s Health magazine.

A campus committed to the futureAdvances have come and continue on many fronts across the university, and

the people of NDSU are optimistically looking to the challenges and opportuni-ties of the future. As President Bresciani says, “The future of North Dakota is at a point of awakening – and our imagination is the only limit to the future. We at NDSU are poised to help make that future a reality. The best is yet to come.”

Gene Taylor, athletic director

When he came to NDSU in the summer of 2001, Gene Taylor inherited a department surrounded by a whirlwind of questions.

In his first year as the director of athletics at NDSU, Taylor was asked to spearhead a comprehensive study and evaluation of the Bison athletic department. He has guided the athletics program through the unpredictable waters of reclassification to NCAA Division I from Division II.

One of most important pieces of the transition was securing

conference affiliations 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 affiliation that gave the Bison football program an immediate home in Division I. He served as chair of the coaches committee.

Also on the reclassification checklist: fundraising. Taylor spearheaded an increase in the Bison athletics budget, which has more than doubled from $5 million in his first year to almost $12.5 million for the 2008-09 season.

He was recognized for his success by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics in June 2008. Taylor was one of 29 recipients of the AstroTurf AD of the Year award as the Football Championship Subdivision Central Region winner.

A student assistant to the associate athletic director in his undergraduate days at Arizona State University, Taylor came to NDSU after a 15-year stint at Navy (1986-2001) as an administrative assistant, assistant ticket manager, ticket manager, assistant athletic director for tickets and operations, and associate athletic director.

Taylor is a 1980 business management graduate of Arizona State, and he received his master’s degree in sports administration in 1985 from St. Thomas University in Florida.

He worked in the ticket office at Southern Methodist University in 1985-86 directly before joining the Naval Academy and was in the private restaurant business before that for five years. His tenure at Navy included serving as the commissioner of the five-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 SUPPortthe ndsu athletic 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 first.

ACE: Academic collegiate enhancementIntercollegiate athletics, in cooperation with Orientation and Student

Success, offers 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 specific academic criteria for admission into the program.

In cooperation with various services and units available for students at NDSU, the ACE program includes:

• Academic orientations• Helping student-athletes improve study skills for academic success• Identifying university resources to assist student-athletes• Coordinating structured study and tutorial programs• Monitoring semester and yearly academic progress

Residence lifeLiving on campus is an important part of the college experience. It’s a way to

make new friends and join a variety of educational, cultural, social and recreational activities. National studies show students living on campus are more likely to persist in their education and earn higher GPAs than their off-campus peers.

The Department of Residence Life offers a variety of options for on-campus living, from traditional men’s and women’s halls to four-bedroom apartments. The goal is to provide NDSU students a clean, safe, comfortable and affordable environment where academic success is encouraged and supported. On-cam-pus living offers the opportunity to become part of a learning community.

Strength and conditioningNDSU takes a comprehensive approach to the physical development of the

student-athlete. Strength training, speed development, plyometrics, agility and conditioning programs are based on the specific movements and physiological demands of each sport.

Under the supervision of NDSU’s three full-time strength and conditioning coaches, Bison student-athletes follow year-round training programs that increase each student-athlete’s level of strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning and flexibility.

Sports medicineStudent-athletes at NDSU receive outstanding care for athletic-related

injuries. The athletic training staff has fully-equipped facilities at the Bison Sports Arena, Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, Fargodome and Newman Outdoor Field.

Scott Woken, director of sports medicine, heads a staff of 10 certified athletic trainers who attend all practices and competitions, home and away. Plus, several talented and skilled Fargo-Moorhead area medical specialists assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Bison student-athletes.

Media coverageThe media spotlight shines on NDSU’s athletic teams from the opening of fall

camps into the summer months. With four network television stations, three sports talk radio hosts, and the state’s largest daily newspaper all headquartered in Fargo, the Bison are continually a hot topic locally and in the region.

Along with regular television news coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates, the Bison receive expanded regional and national coverage of select regular-season games and championship events on ESPN, Fox Sports Net, CBS College Sports, and other regional carriers.

GoBison.comGoBison.com is the online home of NDSU athletics. In 2004, the university

partnered with NeuLion to launch the most interactive website in the athletic department’s history.

Beyond regular news releases, schedules, rosters, game recaps and statistics, fans can visit GoBison.com to watch live in-game stats of most home events, video features with players and coaches, purchase tickets and buy photos.

Fans can follow their favorite teams from their smartphones with the official NDSU Bison mobile app for Android, iPhone and iPod Touch devices.


North Dakota

The Peace Garden StateOne 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 often at the top of the charts.

Discover the spirit of North Dakota and unlock the fascinating 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, Sitting Bull, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Saka-kawea 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 settlers of the past to the farmers of the present, agriculture always has been and will continue 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 production of several crops. North Dakota ranks first in the production of flaxseed, canola, durum wheat, all dry edible beans, all dry edible peas, spring wheat, honey, lentils, sunflowers, barley and oats. About 10 percent of North Dakota’s area, the band of rich soil 40 miles west of the Red River, is often called the “Breadbasket of the World.”

Livestock production is second only to wheat in North Dakota’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 cattle and hogs. The importance of cattle 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 national effort to provide more oil and gas from domestic 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 nation’s output.

Quality of life in the heartland is rarely matched. In its annual crime survey, CQ Press has ranked North Dakota the safest state in the nation in 11 of the last 15 years.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone in North Dakota. The state is home to a variety of cultures, including Scandinavian, Ukrainian, German, Germans from Russia, and Native American.

North Dakota’s 17 state parks and recreation areas offer exciting opportuni-ties while preserving the state’s natural and historic heritage. Hike in the Badlands as Roosevelt once did before he became our nation’s 26th president. 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 invigorating winter days, plentiful snowfall and varied terrain have made it a winter playground. Activities such as snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, ice fishing, sledding and skating are favorite pastimes.

An All-American CityAlternately flooded by vast prehistoric seas and scraped flat 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 centuries the waters receded, leaving 6 feet of rich, black soil that today makes the Red River Valley one of the world’s most fertile farmlands, with Fargo and Moorhead at its center.

The Red River of the North separates the two cities 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 Co., William G. Fargo. The city of Moorhead was named after William G. Moorhead, an executive of the Northern Pacific Railway.

In fact, the Northern Pacific Railway had a profound impact on both the economy and population of the area. Originally settled by Scandinavian and European immigrants, Fargo and Moorhead became boomtowns with the arrival of the NP in 1871.

Under the Homestead Act, settlers were given 160 acres in exchange for living on the land and farming part of it for at least five years. Suddenly, Fargo-Moorhead became a hub for hopeful refugees from the overcrowded East. The railroad brought a constant stream of settlers seeking a new life on America’s newest frontier.

The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is often listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest community between Minneapolis and Seattle. About 200,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay counties.

The community has received many accolades. Fargo-Moorhead was named the least stressful community in the nation by Self magazine. Money magazine included Fargo in a list of the top-10 best U.S. cities in which to start a business or get a job.

In its 2004 ranking of “Best Performing Cities,” the Milken Institute rated Fargo-Moorhead 20th in job creation 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 nation in quality of hospital health care.

Fargo-Moorhead made the “Cleanest U.S. Cities for Ozone Air Pollution” list, as reported by the American Lung Association’s State of the Air Report in 2005.

While agriculture is still prominent in the local economy, Fargo-Moorhead has also become an important focal point for other professions, including government, education, medicine, retailing and manufacturing.

From simple to elegant, from fast food to haute cuisine, Fargo-Moorhead is a virtual smorgasbord of dining choices. With more than 275 restaurants, diners enjoy culinary variety and style-home cooking, barbecue, steaks, all-you-can-eat buffets, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Greek and even “intergalactic.” The Fargo-Moorhead menu features locally owned restaurants with hometown recipes, as well as nationally known franchise favorites.

Fargo-Moorhead is also known for shopping. Visitors from three states and Canada are attracted here by the huge variety of well-stocked stores with convenient parking. Whether you prefer small boutiques or large, climate controlled shopping malls, Fargo-Moorhead has it all – from native cultural items to agricul-tural commodities to trendy high fashion.

West Acres Regional Shopping Center features more than 125 specialty stores; Moorhead Center Mall is home to over 40 stores and businesses; and the EasTen Shopping Center area provides more than 30 shopping opportunities.

Fargo-Moorhead also offers outstanding concerts, entertainment, activities and museums.

The sprit of the early pioneers remains a treasured part of Fargo’s proud heritage. Building continues on our colorful past toward a promising future filled with potential.

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, emails, 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 email, 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.n 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. Please contact the NDSU Compliance Office at (701) 231-5696 if you need a specific NCAA rule interpretation.
