Went 2-2 against Minot, which is tied for 4th in 15-team NSIC
Went 2-0 against UMary, which is last place and winless in NSIC.
Went 1-0 against Northern, which is 11th in NSIC

I didn't count Luther College, and some of those places were double-ups like when St. Scholastica was operating at CLC. There were also a handful like Augsburg in Rochester where the building was not owned by the school but they had the means to offer degrees there on a consistent annual basis. So I didn't count things like when SMSU used to offer programs outside of Marshall but it was a one-off deal.
And I know I missed a few.

Totally agree .. way too many schools in Minnesota, and many without a unique niche. One of the best things about Minnesota Morris is they know who they are, they're the states public liberal arts college. Crookston is nothing. They're not even great at ag or natural resources anymore. And they're in the least populated part of the state with UND, NDSU, MSUM, Concordia-Moorhead and Bemidji State all within 90 miles.
The consolidation idea has been brewing for a while. I used to have some friends in different athletic departments about 15 years ago, one at BSU and one at SCSU, and they would lament about how each school was underfunded. Back then they were saying one needed to close to they could combine and share budgets, scholarships, etc. They'd be the St. Bemidji State Husky Beavers!!!

Bismarck St and Carolina U are accepted into the NAIA. Does North Dakota really need another four year school- without football?

Bemidji alone has 3 colleges, Mankato/New Ulm/St.Peter have 5 collectively. I think Winona has 3. Then there's Rochester...
Then you add in the mediocre private schools like UST and SJU and it really gets inflated.

To be fair - a lot of those are branch campuses for community colleges that are offering trade education in small towns, but aside from that, I agree. We have a lot of private schools and I can't imagine that's sustainable long term.

I'll have to look at private schools - Wikipedia lists about 30, but many of them are not four-years, like Adler. They also count seminaries, as well as Mitchell and CSU being separated from Hamline and SJU (when I would have combined them).
Curious to know what total# I can come up with now as my last count was several years ago already.

Now I see why the folks from Northern were so against adding Jamestown.....they're taking away their press and air time.
