NSIC recruiting ranking

[MrMustang]

Simple, find the all state players, all star game players , all conf. players add them up. basically the team with the most all state and players named to the all star games are the highest ranking. Whether or not this translates to Wins and losses in another story, we find that out in the Fall

Most look good on paper !

I have heard this concern from the coaches.

I do find this interesting for many reasons. The costs to attend UMD is real. Maybe UMD loses some kids because of it too and I just don't hear about it. If I were a UMD coach I would wonder how I deal with it. Seems likely long term the gap might get larger too

If I was more efficient and wiser, I could have got out of NSU in four years for under 40,000. Living off campus was WAY cheaper, but that was 10-15 years ago.

I got out of SMSU for about $25,000 total over 4 years. That was early 1990s Cost 3x as much for my first kid. $18,000 /year. Mind boggling !

SMSU was so cheap you could live on campus and have food service for 4 years and it was cheap as heck.

I have been doing the math and today it appears living off campus is much cheaper. Especially for girls as they don't need the food plan.

Agree with Mr. Mustang. The move off campus saved a significant amount of money, both in rent and food. If your son/daughter can hook up with a few buddies that he or she is compatible with, there are Apartment and single family home options abound. Mine lived on campus the first year and went to an apartment for a year and then two houses. Significantly cheaper.:smile-big:

I am stunned at how much cheaper it is now to live off campus. When I went to SMSU is was comparable in priceing - then you factor in convenience and on campus was very good option.,

was about $300 / month for room and board and utilities in the 90s to live on campus --- now that would be closer to $900 - $1000 / month!

Living off-campus for two of my years was part of the reason why I was able to graduate with zero college debt.

I went to a WIAC school and lived in an on campus apartment my last year and the yearly cost/9 months of campus living was around 430 a month. I think I paid around $350ish a semester for 5 meals a week on campus. I looked the othe r day and in the last 10 years since I've graduated it's gone up over $100 a month for the room.
I lived off campus for 1 year and granted it was cheaper I didn't feel part of the campus at all and was noticeably less involved. Granted some of that had to do with working 15-20 hours a week as well as a tough 5 class schedule.

And cuz guys really like to grocery shop, cook and do the dishes.

[NSU4LIFE]

Ever see the John Goodman Thanksgiving skit in Family Guy? That's what I pictured...

[MrMustang]

If you think a grocery bill for a girl is the same as a boy than you are unique. Having one of each in the teen years the cost for a boy in my experience is 3x as much. And my daughter played 3 sports and ate all the time

Mrs. Mustang agrees with me. She is a smart woman with impecibble taste and instincts.
