Football was introduced to North Dakota by Professor H. L. Bolley, one of the first professors at NDAC, specialties in botany and plant pathology and Purdue’s first quarterback. In 1890, Professor M.A. Brannon of UND, a Wabash University graduate and a past football opponent of Bolley’s, challenged NDAC to a football game. As Bolley related, it took him three years before he could get enough students for the game. NDAC won both games in 1894 (both of which UND protested) and split in 1895.

Myth
Buster
We have all heard them: "If you get hit by a car you get free tuition",
"There is a cow buried on campus", "If a professor does not arrive
after X minutes you can leave."
But the real question is: What is true and what is myth?
The NDSU community is encouraged to submit NDSU related legends to the
HTC team. The HTC team will select a legend and work
to determine if the urban legend has truth or if the legend will be
marked as myth. To submit a legend please email
