Northern State University, How Big is it??

I decided to post about this after my roomate and another guy got in a fight about exacually how big of a sports college is NSU. I have done research and have found some interesting facts. NSU is the only school in the NSIC to offer all 16 sports. Northern is the 4th biggest state univeristy behind SDSU, USD and BHSU. There football team gained the most attention when Gerry Glanville was announced to be one of the final 3 of coaches but later decided Hawaii might be a better place to coach. They only offer 24 scholarships for football but do play on a 6,000 seat 2 year old stadium that has artificial turf. There basketball team has been good but not great in the past years. Their roster is prety local with the majority of the kids coming from SD, ND or MN....

So exacully how big is NSU??? That is a really tough question to answer, there college isn't that big besides basketball there sports teams arnt that big however they do play on a 6,000 seat football stadium which is prolly the nicest outdoor stadium in South Dakota, and an 8,000 seat basketball arena which besides the dome is prolly the biggest basketball arena in the state.
