Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference — men's wrestling (11)

The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) is a Division II all-sports league in the Upper Midwest. Its 11 listed wrestling programs cover 4 states: four in Minnesota (Minnesota State, MSU Moorhead, Southwest Minnesota State, St. Cloud State), three in North Dakota (Minot State, Mary, Jamestown), three in South Dakota (Augustana (SD), Northern State, Sioux Falls) and one in Wisconsin, UW-Parkside, which is a wrestling-only affiliate whose primary conference is the GLIAC. Jamestown is listed as provisional.

Seven of the eleven are public universities, which shows up in price. Federal average net price runs from about $11,772 (UW-Parkside) and $12,703 (Minot State) up to about $23,894 (Augustana) and $21,383 (Sioux Falls). Campus size varies a lot: Minnesota State enrolls roughly 11,700 undergraduates, while Jamestown, Sioux Falls and Northern State are each near 1,000 to 1,300. Admission rates span roughly 59 percent (MSU Moorhead) to 95 percent (St. Cloud State). Minot State, Jamestown and Sioux Falls also report women's wrestling programs.

8 listed programs publish a wrestling-specific recruiting form, one of the higher rates among D2 leagues, so first contact is quick here.
