Good trivia.

Is Alaska the only state without a D1 program?....I'm pretty sure it is.

Also won't N. and S. Dakota get off that list soon? Aren't some more schools there about to go D1?

What teams do ND have in D1? NDSU and UND are still D-II I thought.

The Bisons are D1 this year (NDSU). They play in the Summit with ORU, IUPUI, W Illinois and others.

North Dakota is headed to D1, per the Wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_D...Fighting_Sioux

ND State has been D1 for just a couple of years.

So N. Dakota went from having 0 D1 basketball teams to having two in a couple of years.

Are you f-ing kidding me? In their W column they have 2 respectable wins. Wins against teams with an RPI of 202, 220, 240, 283, and 325 are not impressive.
